The devils here tonight

by jessica warrick   Nov 24, 2017


These demons at my side keep taunting me their haunting me, The rip me apart then they try to comfort me. Why can’t the tell me what the hell is wrong with me? They sing me a lullaby all through the night.
“Hush little baby it will be alright mamas not here but we will hold you tight, stay with us little one for the devils here tonight. All you can hear are the screams in your head, there’s no one else around it’s just you in your hell.”
Oh the devils here tonight, taking my ear it’s only him that I hear. The words that he speaks come out crystal clear.
“This path is yours and I shall guide you No need to worry for I am here beside you. There is no need to fear for the devils here tonight.”
One nights peace is all I asked, but I can never have peace I asked for this hell! Nights spent wide awake never getting sleep but how can you sleep when flames lick your back as the devils whip cracks and the demons only laugh.
