Demon Child

Demon Child

The things that I see
Are the things that I dream
It’s how everything seems
The world I believe

The turning of tides
Makes the tears subside
And the fear and lies
Are not far behind

A lovely mist
Falls over the bay
And the wailing of lost ones
Grows farther away

As I close my eyes
My darling dies
Behind my mind
I soon realize

The world that I see
Is not as it seems
The world I believe
Defeats reality

The flames and the water
Come together as one
The moon high in the sky
But lost the glow of the sun

And there are words carved into my bones
I will never forget
Marked on my heart
The silence now dead

The beating is pounding
The blood pumping strong
A lullaby for a baby
Such a cold deadly song

Sleep my young one
Close your tired eyes
When you awake
The sun gone from the sky

Trust my darling
For I will not let you fall
And I shut my eyes
Lose grip on it all

My reality spins
It alters, it changes
The blood on my hands
The screams I created

My baby is laying
In a cold sodden heap
Her neck broken and twisted
The scars run bone deep

I cut her, I broke her
The knife was serrated
I see the madness and pain,
The wounds I created

I love you my darling
I whisper as I wake
Opening my eyes
For another broken day

The things that I see
Are the things I believe
They are not reality
They are not as they seem
It is all in my mind
My dear child’s cries
From way back in a time
When the fault was all mine

I went into her room
Saw eyes that were red
And killed the demon child
That laid in my child’s bed

But it was my little girl
I slain that night
Simply my little angel
No demon in site

And now I scream for her
To be in my arms
All I want
Is my good luck charm

So my reality is broken
It’s not as it seems
Still real as ever
But feels like a dream

I remember that night
Every breath that I breathe
I hear her screams
When the silence soon reaps

And I close my eyes
And I see her tiny face
Held in my hands
She fell from her grace

My darling, my dear
I loved you when I was sane
I run my hands over my belly
As I feel the kick once again

Another chance
I feel so proud
That’s what you are
I whisper aloud

I’ll have another
Baby girl
Soon for me
To take out of this world…

No! I stop those thoughts
Before they enter my head
I won’t make another
Of my children dead

She kicks once again
And I feel the urge
There’s a demon inside me
That’s not my little girl!

In the kitchen I use
The same knife as before
Plunged four inches deep
I fall to the floor

The blood is mine
It’s all over my hands
The baby stopped kicking
I can no longer stand

I bleed out on the floor
I can’t get to the phone
No 9-1-1
I die alone…

But before I go
I feel one more kick
The lights start to fade
I feel utterly sick

As everything goes black
I hear the screams once again
And then a devilish little giggle
It’s all in my head
But it doesn’t matter now
Because this is my end…
