Demon
She tried to say no
Glistening cheeks and frightened eyes
Woefully staring up at the place
That had spewed sickly sweet words
It seemed like only moments earlier
Surrounded by strobe lights and soulless bodies
I had whispered in her ear,
"I'm here to take you home"
A subway station with no sound
But a rat scuttling across the dust
Minimal light, darkness abound
The rip of tape echoes down the tunnel
She tries to scream
Her voice is like a hot iron
It fires me up
It makes me feel strong
Against her, my skin feels soothed
As if to step out of the sun and into the ocean
Her hair sandy as the beach
She smells of broken memories
And as I step into my sin
I am reminded of the shoreline
I previously traversed
Their conches inspected and approved
Ravaged, and left only as a shell
My demons emerge
Calloused hands on silky skin
And I think "I can only do to angels
As the devil has done before me."
The wind now howls outside
Tires screech towards bliss
She writhes in the handcuffs
My demons are constrained no more
