Ive become haunted by a Demon
Who’s making me question my mind
At first I thought he was an Angel
Cuz at first he seemed so kind
He helped me to unwind
And offered me support
When I was able to breathe him in
I felt like I was finally docked at port
I found his presence intoxicating
I always wanted him around
The insight he brought to my life
Was really quite profound
But those good feelings didn’t last forever
And I decided to take some time away
But he refused to leave my side
And I began to feel like prey
I can’t ever seem to escape from him
Hes mastered manipulation and seduction
My inability to walk away
Will be the cause of my destruction
I look into the mirror each day
And am frightened by what I see
Dark circles and red eyes
Is that the demon or is that me?
Every time I think I’ve escaped
He pulls me right back in
“You can’t survive without me
You just have to let me in.”
His voice echos through my head
His thoughts replace my own
….I love him...I need him...I crave him
And I’m afraid to be alone
I fear that I am not strong enough
And I want to let the demon win
Let go of loneliness-- embrace corruption.
I submit to my addiction again
