Demons

Nightimes of sorrow that i bear
   A listlessness enduring pain.
   Long shadows creep beyond their lair.
   Deep darkest thoughts invade my brain,
   Incessant torture of despair
   My soul now lost, can i regain,
   Nightimes sweet dreams i wish to share.
   Heartbroken now, hope does remain
   To crave for love beyond compare.
   Releasing me to live again,
   From shrouds of pain, each night i wear
   My manic demons must be slain.
