Demon of death
Demon of heartache
Demon of pain
Demon of loss

You follow me everywhere
Standing right out of sight
Mimicking my every step
Watching, waiting

Your small actions
Cause major repercussions
So if you come for me
Make it swift and sweet then
A pin could be heard
The ever growing silence
Not a word muttered
But the screams echo in the mind
I sit quite
I sit still
Completely silent
As my mind tears into two
Strange
When your mind focus on something
scared to breath a word to anyone

but it keeps finding ways to come up
in the most random of places
form the people who trust you the most

only if they understood
only if they knew
would they still hold you close

or look at you like the monster you are?
You be black
I'll be white

I'll go first with a knight
You move a pawn

One by one our pieces move
One by one our pieces fall

But the board holds few now
Your calculations swift
Robbed me of everything but my king
A handful of pieces for you

But was that the intent
For another game

One where your white
And I'm black
Life is but a game of chess
I'm scared of my feelings
I'm scared of how to think
I'm scared of your anger
I'm scared of my venom tongue
I'm scared of our parents
I'm scared of you leaving
I'm scared of your touch
I'm scared of my mind
I'm scared of coming close to that line
I'm scared of crossing that line
I'm scared of never healing
I'm scared of being two faced
I'm scared of your view changing
I'm scared of the unknown
Endless possibilities of what could happen


But all you heard was
"I'm scared."
To hear you voice
Makes my heart soar
To see your messages
My mouth form a uncontrollable smile

So why is it easier
To type everything I wish to say
In a unread document
That is buried on a drive
When I am so good with words??
Just one more
Might hold love
Might hold fear
Might hold a gift
Might hold pain

So many possibilities
For a sleepless night
