She is destructive.
Her smoky tail curves and curls around you,
Whipping her deadly gases about.

She breathes out a swirling rainbow
That seems to drown out anything else.
Her breath fades into a deep blackness that consumes everything in sight.

The tar on her skin drips from her tear ducts
and falls upon the ground, sizzling and creating voids
On every inch of free space.

How ugly she is,
And yet she entices you.
How long have you been her entrapped prisoner?
How long have you been chasing after her?

Never love your captor,
Never chase the destruction.
Never say the fire warms you
When I can so clearly see the burns on your skin.
Never say the blade is dull
When you have blood dripping from your wounds.
Never tell me that White Demon has no grip on your forearm,
When I will watch you dragged through mud and blackness
At the cruelty of her hands,
Blindly and unknowing.

How long have you lusted for the White Demon?

I wish I could live
Forever in the night
I could dance with the shadows
Forget about the light

The darkness is my friend
We go hand in hand
As the moonlight stretches
Across the vast land

My voice will echo
As if it's running away
Oh, let's go find it!
I would always say

Amazing adventures
You'd find in the dark
If my heart was a fire
Then this is the spark

I'm meant for the night
Though I live in the day
I live by the rules
But the night is fair play

Maybe I can't tell
right from wrong
life from death
heaviness from emptiness
love from a lie
or your arms from mine

Still I'm sure to see
light inside something dark
matter inside the nothingness
heart inside an empty chest
care from broken hands

And when you say
the void is you
I shake my head
but follow through

Let me tell you what I see
A blackness that is dear to me
And even if you can't help but mind
my trust and care leaving your dark parts behind

I might as well be
A lantern, you see
And when the light catches you
We'll both follow through
One thing I can truthfully tell
it was never just darkness from the moment I fell

for you

Demons and angels,
Fight for what is right
You may say that one is wrong
But the lights do shine so bright

If a demon is of darkness,
And an angel to it's opposite
Then who is really incorrect
When it gets down to it?

Both sides fight for what they believe in
Stereotypes don't dictate correctness
I could be a demon
And you may agree with my arguments

It's all just opinion,
And a strong sense of belief
To the point it overwhelms you
And become afraid of deceit

*Just two sides of the same coin....

These poems are just words I write to help pass sleepless nights, for when you're hearts not close and the sky has lost its lights.

Your inner demons
They want to tempt you
Into being the only thing
That can hurt you

They want you to fall
A pit that has
No bottom
And no light

They want you to choose
A path that has
No right way
And no sky

They want you to destroy
A pillar that is
Made of motivation
And determination

They want you to become
The only thing that can hurt
You're own worst enemy
You without love

Without hope
Without morals
Without dreams

So become you
With dedication
And loyalty
Your own ally

To the demon inside me who tries to break me,
the one who laughs at my dreams mockingly.

To the demon inside me who tears me down,
the one who’s behind my every frown.

To the demon inside me who tells me I’m fat,
and whispers no one will ever love me like that.

Where did you come from, and why are you here?
Why do you insist on filling my heart with fear?

I thought I outgrew you, had you defeated,
but on my right shoulder you’re comfortably seated.

Luckily for me, shoulders come in two’s,
and every day between you and my Angel I choose.

She sits on my left one, loving and calm,
Her strength vibrates through me like a church with a psalm.

The battle between you seems never ending,
though slowly but sure I feel my soul mending.

Your claws may be sharp, but Her wings are strong,
and she will uplift me through this journey however long.
