The Demon Within

Boom! Boom!
You can here your heart thud
Boom! Boom!
Like a beating drum
You can tell he's here
He always comes
He's always there
Always
Never leaving
Never shrinking
Always growing
Always destroying
Night time is when he comes out to
play
He's always destroying you
But at night is his favorite time of
day
He's quieter when its light
You can feel him
Getting into your blood
You can sense him
As he travels through your veins
Your hand reaches for it
Your savior
How can you survive without it?
Your hero, the blade.
Your hero slices at him
Cutting your wrist in the process
Hacks at him
Trying to drive him out
You've done it
Your wrist is a mess
But you haven't killed it
Not yet
He's gone away
But still there
Tomorrow he'll destroy your day
And another piece of you shall die.
