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
