These screams

Scrawled in blood

Taunt me-

Seeing them everywhere

I start to go insane

What is real and what is not

Round and round

I spin

Nowhere to escape

Chained to these memories

I die a little more

Trapped in my own embrace

For you

I will fight to the death

Love and protect

But I can’t conquer this

They say

Fight your own demons

But how can I fight myself?

This love incinerates within me

The drive and will

Gets stronger

No more hiding

I am here

I have risen
