lot of creativity flowing in this. very disturbing. really captures the feeling of being captive to the demon. powerful lines and imagery of darkness, torment and hurt. 'Words are like knives on my skin, slowly cutting me up.'
"He's come out to play!" quite an ending line; are you related to the great Stephen King in some way?
Kidding aside, I think this is a really fine poem- your word choice and overall flow of the poem draws the reader into the terror (and enticement) the nighttime offers. Thoughts and fears arise that keep us from sleeping, and yet somehow, as willing captives of the night, we embrace the insomnia, the nightmares, hence the marriage metaphor, which I think is spot on.
Well done!

Ah, deliciously wicked dear Gullia :) yet, i don't think darkness is something to fear or avoid. How else one can find out his true nature? Loved this :)
