Mind Demons

Monsters stare out the windows to my soul. 
They stare out at everyone and everything 
They use my body, the parasitic creatures 
They start whispering to my brain
Seeds of corruption and shadows cloud my mind as they take hold. 
They try to do so to my heart but I close myself off. 
I try to protect those I love
They only get hurt and become distrustful and wary towards me. 
I try to fix what my demons damaged 
but how can you fix what is already beyond broken? 
How do you fix a compromised relationship?
Bullet holes and band-aids 
Doubt and fear. 
How do I fix what I've done?
