let it out
the demon inside of you
it's weighing you down
digging your grave
laying down low
it's bursting out of your soul
laughing, mocking
at your pitiful heart
cracking
like the lightning
in the stormy, dark sky
creating a coldness
throughout your body
you broke down
down to your knees
begging for warmth
a downpour fills your eyes
just waiting for the fire
to be lit
burning the demon
to the very crisp
ashes filling the crack
and your heart becomes whole
once again
Author notes
I was inspired to write this by my friend. She and her girlfriend just broke up and she's pretty heartbroken. I just thought about what she must be feeling, and this is kinda what came out.
