Its been some time
Looking back on myself
In the mirror, past my eyes
Where the monsters live
The worst of them all, scratching to get
Her messy frizz of black hair stained with blood
Her clothes, shredded and worn
The remains of her sanity gone with her freedom
I watch her pace around, scream and bang about
Searching for an easy exit
All my other demons fear her
Her evil is far greater than theirs
She lurks in the darkest shadows of my psyche
Feasting on my sins and spewing out new ones
Her demonic red eyes staring into oblivion
She pants heavily, haunched over
While her devious smile glows in the dim light of my dreams
I shut her away, i remind myself
I put her out of my life
So then, why do i see her everywhere?
