You sold your soul

And the devil walked into your life through an open door
You welcomed him, like you welcome everybody.
He smiled, nodded with his head, asked if you could give him a moment of your time and also a glass of hot water.
You invited him to stay and said there's also room in your heart, after a long time it has been vacant, you said emotions are overrated.
He said he's got an offer to make, he's been watching you, saw your struggles, your weaknesses, he thought you might be interested.
He explained to you that you are nothing but an empty shell, he liked it, and added that you deserve to enjoy your life, more than the usual.
You agreed to hear him out, and then later decide what suits you accordingly, you knew it was only you that mattered, you were focused, and it turned out to be a short discussion.
The devil put the agreement in writing, used for that purpose a quill pen, the ink was fresh and flashing brightly with red color.
You read the scroll from top to bottom, you asked what if something will change down the road, he said no ifs and no buts, it's a non negotiable agreement, you'll have to live with the circumstances.
You did not take the time to think, you thought that devil was a nice person to even give you attention. You signed your soul away, and in exchange, he gave you a role in a big show of self fulfilment.
You gave up on your values, those you talked so much about with a sparkle in your eyes, you became a willing slave to every moment that gave you instant gratification.
The devil then disappeared back into the void, he got what he wanted, leaving you with a brand new meaning to life, some certainty and pride, soon after that you started to smell of alienation.
You erected around you a tall wall of lies and stories that sound pretty. You protect your new life style, insisting it's something that was meant to be, making your confusion into the new reality.
The devil is long gone, and so are your chances. You don't need to be a bad person to go down a dark path, just play as a soulless man in a phony show, stubbornly insists that shallow waters are deeper than the ocean.
