Demons in the Dark
Alexis Madeline
where all my demons hide and my thoughts reside
where time stands still against my will
where the light
will no longer
reach me
When the sun sets,
and the world grows dark, demons come
to play with my heart
The light is too much for me - too bright, too illuminating So I recede into the dark, but that’s even worse The darkness doesn’t hide my demons;
it brings them straight to me
