Victim

Death to a once known soul 
A heart torn from the beast below 
Tragedy a live in the eyes of fire 
Rage sets off their desires. 
Broken face to you unknown 
Life is lived now all alone. 
Fear believed to be alive 
The body has yet to die. 
My blood has surfaced into sight, 
Forbidden demons struck that night. 
Walls of courage began to break, 
Foundation of my strength the demons take. 
Sick visions seen when I try to rest 
Night after night a demon's nest. 
To live another day to see, 
Their reasons are unbeknownst to me. 
Sick thoughts of three demon's deaths 
Is what now my mind and soul possess.
