My Demon and Me

The emptiness is expanding

The components in the air, crashing

Where on earth am I while space forever moves its boundaries?

 

The chemicals in my head are burning

My stomach won't stop churning.

My bodies turned an ugly blue-yellow

I could be saved if I could only breathe.

 

But a darkness is embracing

It's closing in, despite the day

The heaviness of a colorless sky

Is crashing on my chest

 

My lungs are shrinking

My heart might soon cease beating

The soul inside me is becoming undone

I can feel my eyes decaying

 

This is a joke but no ones laughing

My head into the wall, crashing

Hum as I walk

Hum

Keep the demons at bay

Stay

 

But this time they won't go away

They embrace me and begin to prey

I can't help but laugh and scream and shriek

Ive got a friend that's here to stay!

 

They're making the colors weigh on my chest

And my lungs collapse

And eyes decay

But their presence lingers so I am here, alive but in dismay

Stuck in a state of constant soul crushing pain

I am bounded by their invisible chains

 

Here I am and forever will be

Personal purgatory

Just my demon and me
