Demons

Black, blacker, blackest,
Midnight starless sky
No one will ever hear
A demon cry.

Blood flows down my arms
I've done myself harm
The pain released in bloody tears
The demon, I hear it, coming near.

I don't let myself cry
I live without it
I remember it is I that I despise
And in the darkness, I see the demon's eyes.

You'll never see this demon
He is mine and mine alone
Though you'll never see him
I'm sure you have demons of your own.

My demon is here again
And brought with him his friends
Self-loathing, despair, it hurts but I don't care
It never ends.

His clawed hands clutch my heart
Skillfully, he takes me apart
Weakens me? NO
I was weak from the very start.

He runs through me
I'm his own
He plans to kill me
His will be done.

I bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Glass in hand, cuts up my arm
The blood that comes, a pleasant harm.

He's too strong
I don't know why
But I was born
Just to die.

I sit alone
He's by my side
And he clutches the blade in my hand
We just want this to end . . . .
