It reflected in his eyes,
The demons he tried to hide.
Heart caged by barbed ribs,
To keep his demons out of reach.
He danced with angels of darkness;
A waltz of his tormenting past.
Until came she....
Washed away his soul with serenity.
His broken heart healed,
Along with a newfound emotion,
No longer was it filled with abhor or venom.
The sound of her heart could conceal his demons,
But hidden deep, a small part remained.
The shadows of his past would not fade away,
She tried to wash his sins,
But it was not in her will to decide,
He pushed her away and,
The only thing that remained,
Were the fading teardrops on his doorway.
