The Devil Was Once Divine

By Bristi Parvin

Even the devil was once divine,

In his heart, love used to entwine 

His love was as pure as the water of heaven

It flowed through his veins 

A thousand deaths he'd face without a sigh,

To shield his love from tempests raging high.

but fate had different plans 

He was banished from heaven

He lost everything amidst pride and arrogance 

A curse casts its shadow 

A mind that is now hollow  

His once pure veins are now filled with poison,

His heart turned into a dark garden

A dark garden with the seeds of blood  

A dark garden full of scars

A dark garden full of thorns 

 A dark garden with a black rose of hate, 

And love? 

He buried love like a living corpse

But that corpse is still breathing 

Cause  the devil was once divine
