Demon

woke up with bad dreams
sleep paralysis at it seems
tried not to think of the unknown
scared again to be alone

i am beneath wide space
cloned by darkness in my face
losing you is like losing senses
one word and i'm losing my defenses

red stained eyes, deep cuts
band aided wrist, gone nuts
remorse over something i fear
would you heal this heart they tear

there's a demon under my bed
but a larger monster inside my head
save me my angel, oh dear
silence is deafening inside here
