A Broken Mind
March 7, 2013
The silence is deafening
The tempest of my mind.
In the black glass of a world forsaken
The spirit of calm untouchable by the light
Hell is loose and the demons unchained
Caught by the power of a stray lost lover
Death is easy to those it leaves behind.

actually it was the opposite. in the lines you were mentioning, the hell being loose and the demons unchained, it was actually in the next line saying that the lover caught those powers and turned them against the narrator. referencing a breakup i went through weeks before writing this

this was so good, but im not exactly sure what it meant. im guessing it was a breaking point in life. with the demons, i believe it meant the sadness of a difficult lifestyle, and the person was losing their purpose in life, but falling in love saved them
