WHERE MY DEMONS HIDE

Look at what you've done 

The beautiful mess you've made 

The truths you know 

Look at what you've found 

Where my demons hide 

Where the evils of my past reside 

Now you know 

What was 

What is 

What will be 

Now you know 

Why I smile when I want to cry 

Why I'm ugly and I hide 

Lucifer's disciples put a spell on me 

They told me only love can break it 

I've been buried for a thousand ages 

But you...who've come in my black grave to raise me 

You've crucified my death so I can live again  

You've unleashed the demons 

And now they're morphing into angels 

Look at what you've done 

Killed my tears and birthed my smiles 

I owe my heart to you 

The master of my emotions 

Your love is KING

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Considering where this was written... well done! I love the core of the piece, its a magical thing having love transform even the depths of who we are.

[John Dennis Gillespie]

I like this. May I ask, is this a religious poem? I pick up a lot of religious undertones without ever a true mention of God, but it's definitely a creative and interesting poem.

It's open for interpretation. It means whatever you want it to means, thats the beauty if writing :)

This was beautiful! And the authors note adds well along with it. Haha. But it's a wonderful feeling, knowing you found someone who accepts your every flaw, every emotion. Who doesn't care what you look like or talk or act like. Whether you're near or far. There are really no words to describe when you find that person and how you feel so grateful for them to exist and be there for you through whatever. They become so important to you and make you fall for them with one simple look or change in their face. It's important to never let someone like this go, be it a friend of someone more. As long as you have this type of person in your life, you won't need anyone else.

[EMMIE]

So very true! Never let go of love like that. Thanks for reading!

[EMMIE]
