I saw a demon lurking in the shadows,
I saw it smile and with such glow in its eyes.
Decrepit it looked, a creature made from nightmares.
Intimidating it was, it became one of my greatest fears.
I saw a demon tall in stature, one I felt could bring about rapture.
It came from the dirt and with a stench that brought about death.
And as life around it withered, I couldn't help but shiver.
I saw a demon in my mirror
One with horns and claws of horror.
I heard it growl, with bloodlust in its sound.
I tried to scream but no voice could be found.
And with each closer step, death became profound.

I tried to scream but no voice could be found.
And with each closer step, death became profound.
