She is dancing with her daemons
and she only wants to shout
pick apart their skin and
simply rip their insides out.
Their music is disturbing
as they callously sashay
through this life of memories
and dreams that she has made.
She is dancing with her daemons
as she settles into bed
beneath the heavy blankets
voices weighing in her head.
Annoyingly they're shrieking
she tries desperately to sleep
again her dreams elude her
while through this waltz they creep.
She is dancing with her daemons
as another day begins
she deftly pirouettes around
their faceless evil grins.
All the while wishing
she could tear them limb from bone
cause them equal torment with
sharpened teeth that are her own.
She is dancing with her daemons
as they scream out with delight
they wheel her 'round about the floor
they claw, they tear and bite.
I stand a lonely wallflower
looking on with much chagrin
for I know they'll never let me
and I am aching to cut in.
Author notes
I don't really know why I went with the Old English spelling of demon, something just said it felt right.
Please tell me what you think

Hmmm, yes, morbid, sensual, terrifying, yet... you can't help but sway along. Excellent, cheri. As always, you have just the right words and imagination to take the reader right in the masquerade. Of course, loving it. As far as I know, this is one of the first adventures into the dripping catacombs of your... dark (er) side in a long time. But then again, I haven't been in here in god knows how long. (You are aware of my reasons.) I'm currently on a library computer soooo... I decided to commit voyeurism and peek into your soul for a bit,
. No worries, didn't see anything too revealing 
.
But... please... I'm on both knees here... I beg of you... continue in this twisted direction. I need my daemon fed, ^_^.
Thanks for this luscious write, Scott. I thoroughly enjoyed it 
. I have a few writes waiting to be posted, but... I forgot to bring them, 
. Oh, well. The anticipation might make it better. 
All my love, chasseur. Toujours,
~Melanthios ((Stephy))
