Devil Doesn't Bargain

Isabella Johnson 2008 (Omaha)

Free verse
His charm.
His physique.
His humor.
All things that a girl would love.
All things that would make a girl obsessed.
That’s exactly what happened to me.
I got obsessed, I fell in love.
Little did I know,
I was in love with the devil.
They say the devil comes as your greatest desire.
Mine was love, and he used that.
He brought this boy into my life,
made me fall in love, get obsessed,
get attached,
just to have him break my heart.
I begged him to never leave me,
but the devil doesn’t bargain.
Especially with a weak little girl,
who only wants to be loved.
