My Demons

"Everyone battles their own demons."

They are indistinguishable
Too closely defined
One Fear, one pain
Clawing their way
Ripping my soul
Unrelenting
Unforgiving

His love is a light in itself
A flickering light in my hell
He saves me each day
Day after day after day
Healing my soul
Unshakable
Never wavering

Each night the battle begins
The pain and fear so loud
Demanding my attention
Tearing my soul apart
My demons to battle
Sleep eludes my reach
Only sleep can relieve me
Dreaming of him
Muffles my terror

His love is my life raft
When my demons drown me
I hold onto him for life
Closing my eyes tight
Memories come alive
He saves me, he loves me
Unconditionally
My hero.
My love.
