White Demon

White Demon Our hearts have allowed to be destroyed. The destruction from a demon, this demon we allowed to flow into our lives and rule us. When did we choose the demon over our lives, family and pride? A price has been paid to live a normal life. One demon has left but yet its will to destroy has stayed with the new. This demon I have named the white demon saved your life and now is killing it as no longer do we have control. Our children forgotten, excuses made, it is needed but at what cost. Each day, further destruction, the broken glass over the floor, the clothes pulled out of draws and thrown about, furniture moved and the ornaments of our lives tossed aside unimportant anymore to find anything little last bit of juice to keep the white demon happy. Quietly I clean up the destruction, a thanks or a sorry sometimes comes, but still the head hears a word that enters the heart and comes out the hand, only one word is heard not all, this one word allows the darkness of the demon to portray its evil and believe the negative. Love and understanding is there, empathy is there but these are not things the demon want, anger, darkness and hate must prevail, no light is allowed. The tools to allow the curtains to open are there, but how can you show your love his tools when the demon tells him the curtains are already open. The demon wants only what it wants and forever everything will be the blame. Full of hope to achieve for the day and by the nightfall the hope has been replace and nothing achieved but what the demon wants. I still see my love, inside his heart is pure but day by day the mana is being sucked out. The demon needs to stay and my heart wants to as well, I yearn for the demon to move aside to allow my love to be realised and some the curtain allowed to be open.
