Demon's Playground

Demon's Playground

Your children are crying silent tears.

While you stare unable to move.

There is a devil in your house.

The smoke clouds your vision. I see him.

He's dancing in the flames.

I run and hide desperate to get away, but I still feel the heat.

I've been singed, you've been burned but you're still standing in the flames.

I’m panicking, I’ve called the brigade.

He divides you and me like a fire break, make no mistake that’s what manipulators do.

He is a thief.

He stole your time.

Your happiness, everything and sold it for a dime.

Not that you care but he stole me away. He spread his pain for his personal gain.  

It’s a crime, a shame and I know his name.

Like your home; there is nothing good inside him anymore.

He haunts you and taunts you.

When you shut the door but he isn’t your son anymore,

He is a poltergeist. 

He tortures you day and night.

You are his victims, like a snake he strangles you tight.

He feeds on your fight like a parasite, your guilt. 

But he isn't right.

He breeds; insidious and hideous.

Touching all in his devious wake.

He infects you, manipulates you, 

Degenerates you.

Takes your spirit, makes you weak and laughs when you fall at his feet.

You sink deeper every day, to his manipulations -- his darkness. 

Like helpless prey. 

Your home is where the devils play.

The world owes him, you helped him, you are his slaves.

For being too nice you’re paying the price,

And now there's hell to pay.

He is a bottomless pit, 

A spoilt rotten shit.

After nothing but his next hit.

He’s used you and abused you and still you let him stay.  

He takes everything good and strangles it, mangles it.

He's a snake, a killer, a disease, wound around you tight.

And you do as he pleases. 

Unaccountable, a prince, a sleaze, a disgusting excuse for a human being. 

A succubus of everything you hold dear, your health, your loved ones. 

From him you fear.

You can't handle him -- you are his victim, he is handling you!

He's made you feel there's nothing you can do.

You walk on eggshells, lest he hurt you as he slithers by…

You live in terror of what he will do, shattered nerves

You’re more than he deserves.

He is a demon, dark, selfish, self-serving – it’s true.

He's taken everything from you.

There’s nothing left, depleted and defeated.

He doesn't care, 

He doesn't know how to.

You are his victims.  

He is possessed with puncturing his flesh.

You let him get away with murder.

You let him hurt me and you desert me because he needs you.

He controls you.

I will see him gone if it’s the last thing I do.

Brow beaten and cowardly, you let the coward control you.

But there is something you can do, I beg you.

I hear the sirens coming.

He has no power over you.

He's a bully, 

He doesn't deserve the best of you.  

We do -- those of us who love you.

He's going to take the rest of you, down into his spiral.

He doesn't deserve to destroy us too.

Make rules, you fucking fools and stop letting him control you. 

He hurts everyone for fun.

He's bitter and twisted.   

I didn’t know true evil existed but

He enjoys creating sadness, 

You are living in madness.

He doesn't deserve you, but we do.

Don't let him destroy what's left of your joy,

Do what you have to do. 

Let the professionals extinguish the flame.

He's an entity, a black hole -- that stole your little boy. 

He’s infested and you’ve invested too much time into covering his crimes.

Get away before he swallows you.

He's using your home as fuel for his veins as you sit in the flames.

I'm crying for help but you are so entranced by your son, the devil, as he dances on your rug.

You fools! I'm telling you, the fire has spread, it won’t stop till we’re dead -- and knowing him that will be soon.

The transpiring fire is burning us too. I’m hurt by the flames and I’m calling your names.

Wake up, look away from the eyes of the snake.

Don’t sit there and stare and pretend you don’t care and that there is nothing you can do. 

Our home is in the flames of hell

No matter how hard I yell, you don't hear me.

Excellent write. My applause

Wake up, look away from the eyes of the snake.

Don’t sit there and stare and pretend you don’t care and that there is nothing you can do.
