There is a demon inside us all
When I met you my demon was small
Memories of your laughing face, lining his walls
My demon grew big and tall

No control to keep it contained
Projecting my pain
Making it plain I wanted to make you pay
For all the f***ed up games you made me play
For all the times you got away
For every saturday I was pushed away
to go play or find another place to stay

My inocense wasted away
The demon was beatin into submission
Stuffed him in a cage
Locked away seething with rage
Always paying attention
His wispers creating tension

I grew to fit the demon inside
You can see him in my eyes
Lying in wait
Waiting for a chance to escape

He wants you to feel the weight of my hate
He wants you to feel the pain of the feelings I can't let go
He wants you to feel it with every fist to your skull
I want to let my demon loose and lose control
For every happy thought you stole,
For making me so cold

I don't want to have to sell my soul
To make sure you pay what you owe
I just want to let my pet demon go

Wished I didn't know exactly what you are writing about here but you sure nailed it.

What is truely sweet is you don't have to serve the demon for it to find it;s true birth and consume it for you leaving you as clean and puire as you were ment to be.

Thanks, I sure hope you're right. I wish no one had to experience about what I was writing about.

What a great write.

Nice to know that you didn't give in to the inner demon. And a great write. I enjoyed it.
