Tricky Damn Demons
He fought hard but still caved
He let the demons come in
He knew her rare value
Beautiful soul in front of him
He used to be her the safe
That protected her true worth
But the demons broke in
Put up a wall between her
She had no play or part
With his evil that brewed
Inside of his mind
Yet it grew and grew
Until he could not hold it
His grip beginning to break
She was inasantly non deserving
Of what she had to take
She was the victim of
The wake of his own demons
He took it out on her
He doesn't blame her for leavin
His own battle he was losing
He didn't mean to push her astray
She was the best thing
That had ever came his way
These demons they are cunning.
No care what's blocking their path
The more destruction they cause
The more that they will laugh
The hold that they take
Over the mind of their host
The source of their power
It is how that take the most
Fight from his soul
Breaking down his defense's
She was the poor Angel
That had to bare witness
He used to blame his demons
For the reason she was gone
She was his saving grace
He wished he had been strong
Enough to see it coming
Stop demons from gaining ground
The the outcome might be different
She might still be with him now
Maybe he was meant to fight
His war of self all alone
To slay all of his demons
His mind is not their home
He found power in pens
Writes strictly for one reason
To win the war he's losing
To these tricky damn demons
In hope that some day
He'll be strong enough to fight
If the demons come back
All doors closed to come inside
His Angel has gotten away
Due to his demons grinning
It's just a battle, not an end
Of a war that they're not winning
Now he's on top if his pain
In a balanced state if mind
Living for himself happy
No more demons of any kind
He wants his Angel back safe
He is wishing and believin
He has win his war
With these tricky damn demons
