You do not see them

but I feel their claws. 

You can not hear their screams

but I can

Run, I tell you, 

Run

You stand and wait, 

for me to show you 

what I know you won't see

these demons within me

I run to save you

but you follow, gaining on me

catching me as I flee.

You don't know me

you can't see my demons

Out they crawl

creeping from their holes

flaming my already burning heart

making me wince

this you see, my pain

I struggle and yell

your hands grab me

their claws dig, their eyes search

seeking your innocent heart, 

a new home

But I still have control, for now

Borrowing their strength

I break free from your embrace

running faster than before

losing you, losing myself, 

trying to save you

Run, I told you, run

but you still wait,

waiting for my heart of demons

to be revealed to your unseeing eyes.
