The demon
I thought I could conquer
captured my essence
once again I lay lifeless within its call
Addiction, I could've escaped.
I humilated you
Watched helplessly
as you burned beneath my gaze
Questions overflowing your eyes
hidden tears anticipating an escape
I hurt you
but would you ever ask me why
Withdrawn now
into your own dimension
Purposefully away from me
Each day this burden
shatters a new peice of my soul
Mend?
Can i ever?
Hope?
deserts me
I cringe
everytime I revisit that night
Bones are tired and weak.
I could've let you in
yet I let you lose
Will you ever offer me
quiet redemption
or will this regret take me to my grave?
