Vengefully Subdued Demons

by Lonesomeme   May 7, 2007


Shadows leering over my soul
The depths of hell are rising
Demons lurk in the darkness
Waiting to escape their cages

Caged by resistance and control
They thrash and claw at the cold emotion
That keeps them at bay
Only to be released

Ravaging and maiming all who exist
Driven by hatred and vengeance
They feed on bloody corpses
Gnawing on the splintering bones

They stalk their prey from behind
A mask, to shred through
Attacking unsuspecting victims
Unprepared and unaware

Caution thrown to the wolves
Remorse is no more
They hide
Amongst the backhanded comments
And sarcastic whips

Chains that once held them
Used as weapons
Tethering their victims
Binding them to their hurtful actions
That led to the escape.

    Waiting to escape their cages
    Caged by resistance and control
    [[Putting "cages" like that right next to each other really kills the mood.]]
    Caution thrown to the wolves
    Amongst the backhanded comments
    And sarcastic whips
    [[I love the above lines. Amazing imagery.]]

    Although you don't rhyme, I really like it. I didn't feel much emotion, but I surely felt something.
    Nicely done.
