The Devil Smiles

A race against time
Always one step behind
Nothing will matter more in my life
Than the decisions made right now
The fork in the road has the face of the devil both sides
Look beyond the apparent beauty where the devil can’t hide
His face will be ugly when unmasked
If you’re still blinded
By the glaring emptiness of temporary pretty
Listen intently to what’s not being said
The little voice inside your head
Is truth whispering to your heart and your conscience
When the devil smiles his teeth are sometimes white
Don’t get blinded by her ugly beauty.
