Deceiver

Oh no!
Here he comes again!
I can feel him just over my shoulder.
His hot breathe scorching my exposed neck!
I can't look!
Frozen!
Lord help!
Now he's speaking....
A low slithery speech with a silver forked tongue...
No! I won't listen! I won't..........................................
Oh God! Did you hear what he said?
Not that again...my weakness
You know it Lord.
I know it.
He knows it.
Help!
He lurks in the darkest shadows of my soul.
Wallowing in the murky sludge he finds there.
An orgy of filth and sin.
He cackles.
He's got his hold.

What?
What's that verse?
Oh God thank you!
It was for freedom we are set free!
Free! Do you hear that?!
Get outta here Satan!
I have no ties to you!
And light bursts through those darkest corners.
Satan flees in terror.
He does not revel in the light.
And living water flushes the mire away.
A heart made clean and whole again
Rejoices in her soul.
