Her Demon

Her Demon

I emerge out of the black cloud
Which has been building in her brain
"Guess who's back sweetheart?
It's your demon again"
​​​​She turns to run away
But I tightly grab her arm
"Don't worry my darling,
I won't do you any harm.
Aren't I the only one who doesn't tell you lies?
I'm here to rip apart
Your happy disguise"
I can't help but point out
That she's a bad mother
That her daughter is stuck with her
And she won't get another.
"Look at you, you're hopeless!" 
I snarl and I sneer
I spit out the sweet nothings
That she don't wanna here
I tell her she's ugly
​​​​​​She's a miserable cow
She tries to fight me off
But I always win somehow
And as she lies in bed
Wide awake as can be
There's only the two of us
There's just her and me
And when she loses consciousness 
I jump into her dreams
And turn them to nightmares 
And laugh at her screams
For I am her truths
Her worries and her fears
And I feed off her misery
Her woes and her tears...

I was distracted it seems
