Teetering

I promise not to do you any harm
        I promise to make you look cool
                I promise to show you lots of fun

I just need your soul in return

I promise it won’t hurt
        I promise that everything will be alright
                I promise that it’s really no big deal at all

I just need your soul in return

I promise the dangers are overblown
        I promise that you are an exception to the rule
                I promise nothing all that bad will happen

I just need your soul in return

I promise that you are not going to die
        I promise it will all turn out fine
                I promise that no one else will find out

I just need your soul in return

I am teetering
        I wish I weren’t
                I wonder what I would give
                        in exchange for my soul?
