The night befalls the Earth

a peace settling into the wind.

All is well in the dreams of the people.

One lonely girl is tossing and turning,

nothing is well in the dreams of this one.

Her body soaked in cool sweat,

her arms are shaking not steady as others.

Poor girl is all alone.

No one really cares about her anymore.

She awakes with a cry and whimper

shaking from fear of the demon within.

Her own personal demon

torturing her in her dreams.

He slowly is sucking the life out of her

clenching his thirst for awhile.

Fright and fear is how she lives

the darkness of night is her only friend

but how quickly that can change.

Once she was a happy soul,

bringing sunshine to everyone around her.

They never last long, people like her,

demons always get to them eventually.

Slowly eating away the light,

eating all joy, happiness, and love.

Poor girl has no clue what is happening

a slight depression is the problem.

How wrong she is for the demon inside

laughs at her pitiful solution.

She turns to a blade for comfort,

red rivers flowing from her body.

She believes it releases her fears

bringing confort in the lonely darkness.

No one seems to notice this tortured soul

No one seems to care.

Poor girl goes through her day

dreading the time when the night falls

A soul that use to be so beautiful,

now a pit of darkness.

She is so scared to die

yet more scared to live.

Another night falls but the poor girl doesn't sleep

She finds the bottle of grace.

The bottle that will be her salvation.

Popping the precious candies,

one by one she takes them all

with a smile she falls limp.

Poor girl just couldn't take it

the demon has won again.
