They are gone again
So is he
Unknown where he is
They in bed, other house, asleep

My normal rock
My shelter
Against the demons that rage
He has left
Not even a goodbye bade

My house is quiet
The shadow comes to play
Darkens my skies
My demons run amok
No one to help them slay

I'm leaving tomorrow
Just for the night
Not where I want to be
It isn't with him
It won't feel right

But if he wants to play
Then play I will
Since my demons are free
This almost love
Will just stand still
I don't know what's happened. I just know that I can't keep my demons in when he turns his back
