Demons

She was home to his aching heart,

while he was the shelter she needed the most.

He craved her touch like a moth to fire

while she slipped in darkness to kill his demons alive.

He wished to keep her safe from his demons,

while she wanted to fight, set him free from his demons,

His powerful mind won against his weak heart,

while her will kept her going,

His demons overpowered her will to fight.

She kept going up till demons ate her alive.
