How I met my Demon

146 62 119
                                    


What sins have I done to deserve this
I think as I walk towards the door,
The door is open, welcoming me
With blood and bones on the floor

The demon stands with a devilish grin
With horns sharpened and rubbing his hands,
Will he swallow my head as a whole
Or will he start by grinding my glands

He pulls me hard- I try to resist
But he straps me to a chair,
I fight- I scream to no success
Will my grave be in this demonic lair?

He shoots a fireball and blinds me
Then picks a sword and slashes hard,
Next a pointy spear comes my way
And I try my desperate best to guard

I woke up and shiver- where's my liver?
Where is my heart I'm missing my head!
"Here's the bill- pay it fast"
The smiling dentist humbly said!
