Nothing But The Devil
You are nothing but
the devil
look at you,
now look at me.
Can't you see me
crying here the hell
you walk away.
You said you really
love me but I can
see that you're a fake.
For you are nothing
but the devil and use
me every time, so
when will I say screw
it all, go lay in my
grave and die.

This seems...
as though it is racked with sobs and the thoughts are
kind of disjointed, but that adds to the realness. I see you
with a tissue, blowing your nose and wiping your eyes. I would
eliminate the [now] after the devil in the second line. ~ Geezer.
