Various Remnants of Heartbreak - Demons

I get sad a lot and I cry out poems.

It's my demise

When demons rise

They're creeping in my soul

They're creeping through the hole

'Cause something's missing from my chest

It won't come back with lots of rest

It's something deep inside

That where the demons reside

It's hard to pick and choose

What's good and bad news

Nothing's good to me

Because I can't see

I bleed out to my friends

I bleed until our friendship ends

Nothing's warm inside

Because the demons never hide

There's flames in their eyes

They make me spew out lies

I'm restless on my own

But demons make my shivers-bone

It's dark inside my soul

It pays a deathly toll

It's all tar black

There's so much I lack

To make my soul complete

I'm under 6 dark feet

I find it hard to stay

When the demons make me run away

There's nothing I can do

To make me leave the demons too

There's no one here for me

Doesn't matter how much I plea

Down the drain goes all my hopes

Wishes and dreams, but I always mope

I want to be free

But that will never happen to someone like me

With demons running their life

I chop onions with a knife

The demons aren't the ones who cry

The demons inside will never die

I cannot leave this state

I cannot escape my fate

The demons hide inside my soul

And come out when the night if full

I follow demon demands

My world is crushed

But all is hushed

No one speaks of this

My captor or my sadness

I cannot get away

Because the demons always stay

They don't let me on my own

They make me scream and moan

They tear me up from deep within

So I always sin

My life is going dim

I do everything on a whim

But the demons rule me

From them I can never flee

Author's Note

One of my favorite poems I've ever written

Reviews

So much self-awareness and yet very little that can be done to remedy, since the fight has long since gone from the speaker.
"I bleed out to my friends
I bleed until our friendship ends" - I found this heartbreaking.
You wrote a serious poem and it has little in the way of hope Ariana but nothing is ever lost completely.
More power to your pen my friend.

Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome my friend

This is devastating. It is really good, like watching the Exorcist. I am hoping this is just a poem, just drama. The rhythm is very effective. The rhyme works throughout. An excellent piece.
