When I come to you I do not come alone I bring my demons Born of pain and rejection Clinging to me like sores Bleeding into all that I love They are a part of me Things I cannot excise
You tell me you love me They tell me you lie They twist everything you say I press my hands to my head Hoping to block them out But they whisper incessantly Like the ringing in my ears I don’t know how to stop them
They are the inevitable poison The thing that will tear us apart I try to hold them back I do not wish to scare you off But I know it’s inevitable You’ll get tired of my fight You’ll walk away with every right And another demon will be born
