the devil left no forwarding address

just a wake of broken promises

and a strong stench of shame

.

I stood outside the red bricked house

my face washed in hot morose

as I remembered every nightmare

.

every trial I was put through

every limit I was pushed to

the sound of my sanity snapping

.

the devil left no forwarding address

just a wake of broken promises

and laughter that I came
