LITERARY: "Memento Mori" by Erica G. Ildefonso

 I fell in love with the devil 

With his menacing gaze gawking at me 

And with his words that lavishes me the most 

I, a woman full of folly, was at my weakest defense 


It all started the night of May 

When all was drowning in their slumber 

And I was the only one with my eyes wide open 

That I beheld the fallen angel 


At the edge of my dimly-lit room stood the glorious being 

His wings were spread and of a sparkling hue

Soon, in my oblivion, I sauntered near and near 

My consciousness had completely abandoned me in the lurch 


I felt my body grew frail as I drew close

But all that's in my mind was his ethereal beauty

His mouth was carved in a nonchalant smirk 

And his eyes — oh his eyes were piercing my very soul as if discerning my sins 


I spent the night with his embrace

Our bodies colliding together as one

Enveloped in the sweet promise of the fleeting heaven,

But our love was at the deepest pit of hell, forever blazing fire


As soon as the dawn peeked through the window, 

He bid his farewell and succumbed to the darkness 

And I was left alone again 

Waiting for him to illuminate the night


As time flew by, it was getting harder for me to grapple my senses

I knew at that moment, I was completely esnared by his charm 

And the only thing that could appease my longing 

Was to be with him forever and ever 


Tonight, I made a vow with the devil

And let him ravish my soul 

I plunged the dagger straight to my chest 

Until I was nothing but a crimson pool


With my eyes beaming, I kissed his enticing lips

And readied myself for the god's verdict

If loving him was a sin

Then I wouldn't mind being a sinner
