Like a creature of the night he lurks around,
Hidden behind the curtains of his own skin,
Like silence, like echos of his own sound,
He holds the screams within,
Broken reflections, broken bridges, leaving nothing in between,
For the Devils are fallen angels,
And the Gods can be prideful beasts,
Known to some and to others mere strangers,
Somethings are wants while others are needs,
To lust is to hunger, to hunger is to starve,
Today he is skin and bone,
Tomorrow he will be ashes,
For even the Gods are put to dust,
And the devils are crowned...

I love the way you exhort the devil in his personality,

Thank you @botefarm. Stay happy :)

Very dark, but very enjoyable.

However, just a word of caution - Pinterest isn't a good source of free-to-use images. You should stick with sites that offer Creative Commons licensing such as Pixabay and Wikipedia commons (Though some of those ones require attribution.) Just looking out for you! :-)

Thank u @viking-ventures. I understand your concern. I'll then stick to pixabay💖

You're welcome.
There are actually quite a few free sites to use. I actually start with a Google search with the "use" options turned on to "free to use" - I don't trust the ones off Flickr - I suspect those ones are not as free as they appear, but the other sites are usually okay once you've filtered that search.

And the Gods can be prideful beasts,
Known to some and to others mere strangers,
