As I look Into my old enemy's heart

As I look into my old enemy's heart



As I look into my old enemy's eyes

I see in him something that is bigger that I

Through the years I found security in doubt

As I watched him do without



Now the walls are torn down

And I cannot always frown

So with a smile I greet him

Hoping it's as as good as it may seem



But then the fear grips me

That is it is indeed  the real we”

That I see when I look into his eyes

And if it so that what before was lies



All those tears and fears I spent

We they nothing but the words of a serpent

Nay no such can be,

So I must look on to find glee



In the knowledge that such a serpent must indeed be him

He is the tempter of my soul ,

And I am angered to the brim

By a thing so foul



That is would tempt my conviction

With such petty temptation

Though it be delicious and near

From it I must always veer



Lest I never know myself

For being lost in lust

Akin to Satan himself

For too soon I gave trust



As  I looked into my old enemy's eyes.

And avoid the damning excuse

That should haunt me henceforth

Should I let him through my fort.
