The Demon

I am a demon

Heartless and cruel,

In darkness I hide

The shadows my friend.

From daylight I turn away

A moonless night my only escape,

I am cursed

To a sinful life

And beneath my disguise

I am a man without a face.

Still I met with her

An angel who sings,

Her footsteps as light as the feather,

Her scent a mixture of strawberries and rain,

Her heart as free as the western wind,

Her hair thick as autumn leaves.

I am a demon

So how can I fall in love,

I am not supposed to feel;

I lurk in darkness,

The nightmare from your darkest dreams.

There is no love in me

There is no empathy;

I am the merchant of hate

I am that monstrosity.

So I remain in shadows

As she dances in the sun,

Watching from the distance I am content

As she smiles and laughs

Without shedding a tear.

For I cannot share her paradise,

I am a demon I will make it burn.

So beautiful. If I was in that predicament I would of at least tried with love. The way everything was configured made it into a sad but beautiful poem. Good job :)

[Nwang]

Thank you @Ms.Awesome ;)

[Lauren_The_Awesome]

I believe love heals all
we all have some darkness
and it goes away once we join that dancing one over there

i bet its worth the try .....

[Nwang]

Sounds good. A bit like how Wolf feels....oh wait that is right he does not feel.

[Nwang]

How come Wolf does not feel?

[Wølfy]

In the novel I wanted Wolf to be a badass demon. Badass demons feel nothing.

[Nwang]

So wolf is a demon like me :P

[Wølfy]

You did not read my demons & angels novel did you? :P

[Nwang]

No, but I am starting now.

[Wølfy]

That is what she said.

[Nwang]

Really....I did not hear her.

Oh goodness. I love this. The demon has unknowingly shown his capacity to love, for he has forsaken his own desires so that this beautiful angel can live a happy, painless life. That is selfless love. Beautiful.
