DEMONS

If I tell you my secret,

How will I know you will keep it?

If I let you in, let you see,

Will you know then what it all means?

-

If I whisper in your ear,

Make sure only you hear,

Don't want anyone near,

Eavesdropping on my fear.

-

If I tell you something's wrong,

Humor me, just string me along,

Tell me of things such as hope,

So I can forget about the tempting rope.

-

If you're scared, it's okay, I am too,

Been living so long in this ruse,

Biting off more than I can chew,

My only option is to lose.

-

If you leave me now, I'll understand,

You can't walk through depression hand in hand,

My soul has too many reasons,

To be alone, stuck with these demons.
