The ones who knock

They are the ones who knock
Unsated they slither and mock
For they are hunters of your soul
Taken without your will or control

Did you get what you deserve 
As their eyes stab at your reserve 
Do you scream and run on 
Wishing and hoping they’d be gone 

To pursue and capture you
As you run and not falter too
While the gathering demon horde
Watch smile and quietly applaud.
