Demons

Watching and waiting at the door,
For my true love that isn't there anymore.

Always looking but never seeing,
That one reason for my living, for being.

Chasing away inner demons with liquid courage,
I rebuild the walls, haunted by your image.

Knowing that if I don't rebuild soon,
I will face the darkness and nevermore see the moon.

Mother that fed me through the night,
I need you, your brightness and your light.

Living this nightmare, hoping to wake,
Chasing demons that only steal and take.

Rebuilding, rebuilding as quick as I can,
Avoiding the urge to run and be on the lam.

Crawling and scratching my way to you,
Save me from demons before they make me pay my due.

Watching and waiting at the door,
For a love that isn't there anymore.

Always looking and hoping on seeing,
You lover, My Reason for Living and Being.
