into the abyss at a dignified pace

I once thought that I could be powerful

That I could change the world with my brain

My brawn, my bestiality

But mostly my beauty, above all.

I once thought that if I could charm,

I could crush the damneds' souls,

And take them for myself

To help the world.

And for a while, I helped

The world, by getting rid of the people

Who had destroyed the world

In the first place.

I wormed myself into their hearts

Then left them shattered,

Physically, mentally, emotionally

And in all truth, I was too.

Then it started, the darkness that I was blind to

Started creeping into my vision

Slowly, bit by bit,

Crime increased.

The ones in jail wailed for the

"Purgatory Temptress" and the ones

Outside of prison sent me those blessed

(cursed) notes of their passion and crimes.

For a while, I subdued them,

Slithering into their minds,

Whispering hushed words and

Dealing harsh blows.

But then I starting making the

"Most Hated List" of many people

And for a while I wondered why,

Because I was ridding the world of evil.

And then I realised, the devil's voice is far too sweet.
