    Not bad, just a little friendly advice, check the typos here and there, and try shorten the lines, but otherwise I like it,I can actually relate to that sensation of "dancing with the demon" my favourite line because it just hits the nail on the head with how I've felt in similar situations..."who else will dance with the demon, in the silent scream of the night?"beautiful paradox, and also "I
    laugh at myself, for there are better ways" ,
    "but when I dance with the demon there seems to be no other escape"lovely, chilling, truth drenched ending :-)

    Dark poem.... Gives me kind of a scare to dance with a demon.

    I love your title... Very creative.

    It sometimes does feel friendly staying with the demon.... And you don't feel like walking away.

    I would like to inform you that on the third line first word it is 'lying' not lieing ...

    I like your poem.. It's really nice.. I love the beginning especially the dress things....

    Wonderful write...

    This is so relatable for me.

    "The demons claws are undeniable, its hard to escape,
    once the dance starts i choose not to end it,
    because of course; i love dancing with the demon.
    grasped in it's ugly claws is my heart"
    ^this part gets me the most because it reminds me of someone. Every time I try to leave like he does, he somehow comes back and pulls me back in. kinda like being in a demons clutch.

    I love this entire thing because it not only tells a story, but because a person can get their own story from it. Very well-written.

    This brings to mind that infamous saying, "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
    In your case, and based on the chilling poem I've just read here by you, I would have to agree unequivocally that you have.
    Nicely rendered, Beautiful Tragedy...

    Dancing with the demon can leave marks you want to keep, but know the demon also leaves wounds that will always weep.

    Beauty in words incarnate.
