Awakening the Demon

I run and run,
far and wide.
I let my heart open,
and close my eyes.

I'm afraid,
but I feel it in me.
The monster is awake,
but I want to flee.

It tears and thrusts
through my soul.
My heart is broken,
I feel so cold.

I've become so pale,
my eyes are sore.
I don't know if,
I can take anymore.

I cry and cry,
I feel so dead.
My eyes are closed,
I live in dread.
