I see Them

When the sun sets,

And theres nothing out there

To protect me

I see them look at me

I see them laughing

 

My demons aren't the same,

They weren't born,

And they share no name

All I know is that I can see them

Everytime I want to mourn

 

Hold my hand

And guide me through 

This maze of nightmares

Everywhere I look

Its always the same!

 

The coldest stare,

They devour the flesh,

They burn me alive

They are my demons!

And only I can see them!

 

Beasts of prey

Demand a fee I cannot pay

And no one else can see

What stirs inside of me

And no one else can see them

No one else can see my demons

But me

Ooooohhh... at night they

Ooooohhh...

at night they gather 'round 

in search of sleeping prey,

they hover over and within,

and do not rest til day,

gathering around me,

they scuffle to devour,

i am them and they are me,

but only in the witching hour.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Hello Ghost Rider

Hello Ghost Rider. Nice to read a write which is NOT about soppy love. Thanks for the taste of the macabre.
