Demons

at night when everything sleeps,
there is the girl, that wakes and weeps,
her body her nightmare needs,
trapped and alone, she waits while her soul slowly bleeds.

the endless darkness, with no light in sight,
all she could ask for was no pain in her plight,
in the endless battle she fights every night.

the demons of her past,
no priest or shaman could cast,
no amulet or gem did last,
death was coming, nearer and fast.

her family gathered around her,
weeping with misery,
while her soul slowly leaves her.
