Better the devil you know

Do we ever end up where we thought we would? 

I guess not. 

We trade the fights for the kids.

We trade the love for comfort.

We trade the forever for now.

I used to think I had it figured out.

Fairytale laughter... 

7 kids in a snow white home

Enough gold yarn spun to set me for life.

Guess it was what I thought I was working towards.

Took a couple of heart breaks to see reality.

What is the devil I know?

Why was my devil never enough?

Why was my devil a devil?

The way I see it, your devil was not "your" devil.

The evil you possess now makes you think the other devil was better.

But who says it has to be another devil?

Why settle for another evil

Why settle at all...

I refuse to believe that the devil you know is better than the devil you do not.

I refuse to believe you traded a crappy hand.

In reality, we all just trying to find the perfect devil.

The only question is "Am I patient enough to wait for my devil"

Closely tailed by "Will I be able to recognise my devil crashing towards me?"

Maybe it is not better the devil you know

But better the devil that knows you,

And treats you like the angel you were meant to be
