To the demons of my past.

by Liliah Lee   Jan 27, 2008


You watched me as I sat in bed,
You blew cold whispers in my head,
You watched as I picked up the blade,
Then all my fears began to fade.

You left me for a little while,
Once you had destroyed my smile,
And then, just when the time was right,
You came in through the dark of night.

You stole my joy with each new cut,
The door to my heart was tightly shut,
Tears could not flow out of my eyes,
Instead I cut myself with lies.

The lies you told me cut so deep,
I could no longer even sleep,
You invaded my every moment,
And never would I be content.

I hate you for what youve done.
The way you broke my heart for fun,
The cuts will never leave my skin,
As long as youre allowed to win.

Im fighting now, but not unaided,
By Christ, my life has been invaded.
He has lit my heart on fire,
To destroy the evil liar,

Youre nothing now, you have no power,
Youre worthless in my darkest hour,
Ive locked the door, youre in the cold,
The price has been paid, my life is sold.

    I'm glad that you have overcome the demons and put them in your past and that you can recognize them and cast them out them when they come again.
