At My Door

Take it how you will, my chest is lighter because of it

This moment is new
Though I've been through it
So many times before

Smoke tainted fingers
Lips bitter taste absorbed
Fire lit darkness
Old memories craving more

This guilty vice is wretched
Warmth drowning out
My storm

Mr. Hyde hides in potions
Timid taken at the soul
Flames licking at the murk
As I relent all control

Destiny seems hesitant
Though the crowd
Is shouting for

I find myself alone with
Demons knocking
At my door.

Frighteningly accurate... I feel drained just reading your pieces given the emotional ride it's brought me on. And I mean that with great respect as that I think that's the greatest power a writer can possess. I enjoyed this like many others I've been reading, your style and way of expressing yourself is a wonderful and touching. Enjoyable piece for many reasons, thank you.

When those Demons come a-knocking. Best find a hide-away.
"I find myself alone with
Demons knocking
At my door."
Nice flow of thoughts led to very god ending. Left the reader with the need to know more. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome my friend.

Those demons tell them off and do not dare open that door. Stay put, stay still and hang in there. It will be well

[LapseOfMind]

Yeah those demons have a hard time letting me go. Slowly but surely, day by day, they lose their grip. One day they'll be gone

[Cassie]

Keep writing and refuse to open that door. Will you

[LapseOfMind]

Most definitely
