Mephistopheles.
I'm sitting in purgatory
A deserving end
To my shitty story
You think you know who I am
But you don't know what I've done
Some call me the devil
Some call me his forgotten son
I'll take your heart at the start
And say you have mine
Once you realize I'm empty
I'll leave you all alone, crying
I've done a thing or two
That I can't say I regret
I'll dig into your memories
Make it impossible to forget
They say that there are monsters
That live under your bed
But I lay beside you
And plant doubt in your head
Now the question to ask
That you'll have to figure out
Am I talking about someone different
Or am I describing myself?

A very clever little poem ?
