Demons

by JaM   Mar 27, 2011


Descriptive words could not say enough,
Informing you without any expectations,
A simple need to express the damage,
Of not meeting your qualifications.

You're ignorance; both gift and curse,
False belief from your deception,
Subsequent pain leading to anger,
Infiltrated like an infection.

Valuable lessons learned from you --
Benefit of the doubt should not be given,
Further regret seeped into life,
Now that my demons have arisen.

Plunging into bitter sweet weakness,
A temptation I could not resist,
Pathetic attempt at leaving flesh,
As the blade split open the wrist.

Consumed at my loneliest moment,
Tired of giving without receiving,
Defeated by my persistent demons,
Manipulated by thoughts of relieving.

Perception changes with reality,
Enlightened by harsh, clear thoughts,
A choice to no longer be controlled,
Thus, the day that I fought.

Strong desires to be able to forget,
Lips softly speaking lies after lies,
Though admittance was not achievable,
The truth came from your eyes.

Care was not something of existence,
Simply sheets and pillows,
Know that in the end it will be you,
as sad as the leaves of a weeping willow.

    "Consumed at my loneliest moment,
    Tired of giving without receiving,
    Defeated by my persistent demons,
    Manipulated by thoughts of relieving."

    This part of your poem spoke wonders to me. It's exactly how I feel in words I could not write.

      Hi Belle,

      I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm very pleased to know that I have written something someone can identify with, it's my aim in sharing. I am also sorry to hear that you are experiencing this as well. I hope things have changed for you in the past 11 months. We are all connected through our poetry, we are not alone. *hugs*
