A Demon Inside: A Poem is Inspired by the Dark

A peak into my experiences...

A Demon Inside

Neisha Ulrey

 

Dry cracked lips. 
Swollen. 
Blood stained from the

bite marks.
A driving thirst that can’t be
quenched.
Another moment taken. 
A little more damage

done.
Life half lived

between

each invasion.
Sweat soaked body. 
Shaking from the cold.
Satin sheets

stained.
Ruined.
Another hole to a
shattered heart. 
Hands creeping up. 
Unarmed for the attack.
Like a broken clock,
time stands

still. 
Mesmerized by the darkness.
For a moment

all empty sins are washed
away.
Peace settles on a damaged soul.
But

moments are

fleeting. 
And the devil has left
his mark.
Fists unclench. 
Body loosens.
A gulp of

metallic burn.
Wipe away the

blood

and

tears. 
And wait for
his

return.
