Un-Invited Guests

Nothing can quite satisfy a demon.

Nothing can really quench the devil's thirst.

There is never really a stop sign in the roads anymore.

Not unless I can get there, first.

Why does it seem like God will never know...

When to stop...

When to let it go?

Why do the warmest rays of sunshine...

Turn to ice...

No longer mine.

"I will never let you in,"

I say as my eyes are glazed with shame.

"I don't even know if I can."

I know that your heart...

Is filled with secrets.

But if you share...

I can't promise...

That I won't use them.

To manipulate you with.

To strangle you with.

Baby.

I know,

You hate me.
