Analysis of The Dark Devil



Death came as a dark devil-
To let you start loving me.

Tears so cruelly tore your heart,
And you thought if I was beside.

You started missing the days of spring-
Those then turned out to frozen ice.

It's winter now I took my last breath-
Knowing my eyes never open again.

Watch you with my inner soul,
Resting under the earth I calm.

I now see you, crying aloud-
Alone at the shore you yell from core.

All your dreams got filled with tears,
You called me loud and loud to hear.

On my tomb, you kept roses of love-
Those never were given, when I was alive.

Both we know, I am no more,
Still you cry and cry aloud.

For what you do, I do not know,
But forever I live in you.
