My Demon

My demon sings me to sleep each night
A lullaby bathed in blood
He whispers softly in my ear
As he drags me through the mud
He kisses me so softly
Poison on his lips
And makes me swallow every drop
As his claws tear at my hips
He reminds me why I’m worthless
And he’s joyous in my pain
For he knows it’s my end
That will be his gain

My demon sings me to sleep each night
I toss and turn ‘til dawn
I cannot break free of him
I am naught but his pawn
And my role, oh I play it well
My acting wins him awards
I have no choice but to bow down
He has made himself my lord

My demon sings me to sleep each night
A comfort in this place
I listen so intently
As I stare at my own face
