You look into my eyes, terrified as you watch me get pulled away from you,
  they're too strong, powerful, unforgiving,
they pull me away faster,  "goodbye my love," I whisper as you fall on your knees, afraid and vulnerable.
  I can never see you again,
  I can't let this happen to you again.
  You've been fighting your demons for so long but now I see,
  I am your demon, the one you dispise, fear, loathe
  I jolt awake to see you in my arms.
  I slip away without waking you, into the night
  I can't hurt you anymore, I can't keep doing this to you, I run away from everything,
  I thought I knew. Everything that was once familiar
  knowing that I will never come back, knowing that I can't.
  I'm running, I'm lost
  I cross the street and I feel a sharp pain, home,
  the last thing that I will ever know. I look up  to see a bright light, NO!
  the light goes dim and I'm falling down into the darkness, then I realize,
  this is where I belong.
