fork over your soul

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've tried to be patient, I've tried to be fair, But I'm getting angry, And you just don't care. I've asked you so nicely, I've been oh-so-kind, I'm simply collecting, What you know is mine. Though we had a contract, You just aren't complying. You got what you wanted, Now I feel like crying. You thought you could trick me, The ol' Prince of Darkness. And you were successful, You're so full of harshness. I fulfilled your dreams, Gave you money and fame. But you won't fork over, What I own by name. I now own your soul, But you won't give in. This battle is over, And I guess you win. You once told me something, That made me quite blue. "No one has a soul, "No, not even you." It's true what you said, No one has a soul. Their very existence, A silly black hole. It's really quite random, That you came to life. That you had three children, And such a sweet wife. You knew of my plan here, To win you right over. Your truthful assertion, It's made me quite sober. I can't have your soul, So I shall retire. Remind me to never, Make deals with a liar.This is basically the devil pleading with someone to give them their soul. I hope it makes some sense.
