ON SCARLET WINGS

My life guided by unseen forces,
Iā€™m a marionette on strings,
Never seeming to do any right,
Always confronted by bad things.

 

I try to run away,
From all the pain my life brings,
Yet always soaring above me,
Is a demon on scarlet wings.

 

My sanity is slowly stripped away,
Nerves tense as over wound springs,
As its toxin of darkness infects me,
Like the poison of a thousand stings.

 

Dragged along with no escape,
Its clawed fingers grip my strings,
Laughing cruelly as it soars above me,
The demon on scarlet wings.
