Letter to my Demons

Dear demons

Gently embrace me with your sweet caress
Place beneath my anguish the taste of a joyous revelation
Wrap me tightly with the feeling of adoration

The sounds of the strife beat a drum that reminds me bitterly
of a sweet voice I once heard calling from the heavens
Absolution is irrelevant when you hold me firmly in your arms
Singing in whispers love songs that soothe the hurt, even if just for a moment
I call out to you, Give in
Cause the scars you inflict on my forever will never heal

Still I love you
When you lay beside me
Carving ugliness inside me
Leaving the markings of scorn plastered horridly on my limping soul
When you have me screaming your name in deep despair
Violently tearing down my joy and happiness
Demanding I carry your last name proudly

Wide spread zeal has me succumbing
Bowing merrily to serve your needs
I’ll do anything to see you smiling
I’ll tell a lie, steal a heart, shatter dreams, kill a soul even if it were my own
You lead me wrong and still I love you
