My DemonsA Poem by Giulia KingWhy can't I let my demons go? I'm forever married to the darkness. I keep screaming into my pillow, hoping that I'll disappear into thin air. I light another cigarette, hoping the smoke will choke me, knowing that with every new cigarette, I'll be closer to the darkness. Closer to you. We all might have something that keeps us wide awake at night, keeps our thoughts running wild. Words are like knives on my skin, slowly cutting me up. I realize, not every story has a happy ending. I can feel him waiting for me. His eyes are on me. Sucking me into his embrace. I can feel him in my bloodstream. I can't breathe. He's here, he's come out to play. © 2017 Giulia KingAuthor's Note
