Angels and Demons

Menacing black eyes that penetrate so deep Searching my soul for the answers he seeks I will not reveal Nor relinquish my silence My secrets confined to a space unobserved Angels guard my soul Safeguarding me from this malevolence Protecting my vulnerability Warding off sinful thoughts The demons hiding behind his eyes Torture me with memories Of a man who was caring and kind Shapeshifted into a stranger I longer know A shadow Lurking in the darkness Waiting to pounce Stalking his prey As sinister as the darkest night Angels and demons battle each day Balancing life with good and evil Basking in their glory the demons dance Angels celebrate their victory with smiles and jubilation Tugged from light to dark From one breaking dawn to the next I am weary Fatigued from the fight Demons urge me to give up Join them in their hell The angels give me the strength to fight on Inspiration to struggle through the day I close my eyes The angels create my dreams I am happy Running through golden meadows with no chains The sky is blue Sun shining just for me I see my future bright and clear The angels guiding my way No more tears No more demons Only happiness in my future Contentment without menacing black eyes
