My Only Friend

One day she just felt it.
It hit her all at once.
The growing darkness held inside,
A demon on the hunt.
The want for death just grew,
But she was too young to know.
"Is that what these feelings are, in my head!?
Please tell it to stop and make it go!"
But her mind was no longer hers.
Her naivety is now gone.
In its place a devil's demands.
From her, he wants blood drawn.
He promises to make it better,
If she gives in to what he wants.
No longer a normal child,
Yes was her only response.
So she started the first cut.
No idea how good it would feel.
Maybe this devil didn't lie,
Now she could see the appeal.
This continued on forever,
She made a friend inside her head.
When all through life, everyone left her,
He stayed with her instead.
"No one stays, except for you.
At least I have you, my friend."
She continued down this dark path,
She waited for her end.
No one cared and never had.
Only her Mom would mind.
If one day she finally gave in,
And left this life behind.
