Puisi: "Devilish" by Aris Balu

How much must I pay for this pain?

Between you and I, I'd say nothing at all

I've suffered long enough, 

For you stabbed me in my sleep,

when you invite madness into my dream

How much more must I endure?

You make me believe that to drown in poison is healing

Your music can no longer bind me

Its melody but a rusting chain,

too weak to make a slave out of my sanity

Do your worst, for I have nothing to lose

Trap me with your beauty, and I shall rise to challenge it

Curse me with your sweet voice,

The one born of magic and rhyme and blues, 

I rise nonetheless

Hell is your domain, woman

The devil is yours to command

But not me, no longer
