Demons

So tied up
Can’t break loose
What comfort now can hold
These chains made bold?

Sinister webs of darkness fly
Time to hold I cannot buy
What makeup clouds my inner thoughts
Doest thoughts ring so tenderly in the deep?

Despair, full of death,
Yet so full of life.
No one can know their fears
Fears that lie in the dark shadows of my soul.

No one to embrace
No one for cheer
I despise all who I see
I shake with anticipation
---------------------------------
Excited are we,
Joined now as one.
A mirthless trio of song
An eerie tune to mark our passage,
Within your soul begun.
---------------------------------
I embrace you.
