My days were gloomy, nights were cold
Constant yearning for a woman to hold
And the happiness that I always lack
Because all I loved didn't love me back.
The peace I seek for never came
The demon in me—I couldn't tame
But I hoped to be free from the Devils leash
As I listened to the bishop preach.
But it hath built a house inside of me
All these years, it never let me be
It grew as I grew
I walked— it flew.
It visits me in my dreams
Unaffected by the sounding hymns
To overwhelm me with terror
And it's disguise is the man in the mirror.
