You're the Demon that's Part of Me

A Poem by

(Chorus)

Burnt into the back of my hand,

This is my spot, I take a stand.

Follow me, obey my command,

Scream! This is my demand!

Let me climb in your dreams,

I’ll be your nightmarish screams

While you release your demons,

Your cuts deepen and deepen.

But, sweetheart, I’ll continue to scream

While you lose your self-esteem in a

Passion said to be seemingly extreme,

Oh darling, your blood falling downstream.

(Chorus)

Burnt into the back of my hand,

This is my spot, I take a stand.

Follow me, obey my command,

Scream! This is my demand!

Don’t tell me you can’t survive,

Because this demon has come alive

And she’s begging for a chance

To show you the way she dances

Across your skin with that razor trance.

Darling, give this demon a chance.

She’ll cool you with her scarlet tears,

Using her to end your last sweet years.

(Chorus)

Burnt into the back of my hand,

This is my spot, I take a stand.

Follow me, obey my command,

Scream! This is my demand!

Your demon can’t escape,

She has taken shape in the form

Of your scars and scrapes, those

Wounds left gaped open leaving

You sad and broken hoping for a moment

For that demon to flee, oh darling can’t

You see?

You’re the demon that’s part of me.

Author's Note

Okay so I wrote this as a song, and I've never done that before with my writing. I think it turned out pretty darn good if you ask me, but that's just my opinion about my writing. I'm all for criticism on this, so feel free to tell me if I need to fix anything. Thanks!
