The demon grabs hold again
I try and fail in my sin.
The demon laughs while holding me in place.
I thought I beat you!
I scream in his face.
I thought I won!
I thought I was free!
“Oh dear child
you’ll never beat me”
His grasp so hard
against my frame
Losing sight
my breath
my name.
He picks me up
and cradles me tight
I can barely see his face
in my dimming sight.
Reaching up
I stroke his face.
Don’t you know i didnt want to fight you in the first place?
I remember you
from when I was small.
You would pick me up
after a fall.
Brush off my knees
cuddle me tight
I knew then i would be alright.
I don’t know what I did
for you to hate me so.
But I wish you could
Just let it go.
I know you wont …
and thats ok
I know In my heart …
that I die today .
But before you kill me
I want you to know,
I have always dearly
loved you so.
Each time we fight
Wither I lose or win
All I want is to rebegin
To that time in the past
Before this hatred that’ll forever last.
Before the fire and the pain
Please tell me ,did I ever know your name?
My hand drops away
from his face.
I surrender myself
in his embrace
To tired to fight him
No longer caring
if I win
Giving up.
Giving in..
I lay here fading
being rocked in his grasp
Giving up my future
Forgetting my past.
Finally
Peace at last.
From far away I hear these words
“Oh dear child
We’re not through”
“I have never been angry with you”
“It is with love
that I draw my blade
I’m trying to save you
Before it’s to late
With love that we battle
when I let you win
Oh dear child I’m not your sin.”
Im doing now
what I did back then
I dust you off
wipe the blood from your chin
I kiss the oweys on your knee
Just as I did
when you were wee.
This time next month
You’ll have forgotten
once again
That I am not your darkness
I am your friend.
One day we will battle
fighting until the bitter end
Or until you finally see
the truth
Or we are together
Finally
Once again.
