demons

when my demons met yours

they smiled

because my darkness

knew yours.

they made a home

in your cold heart,

in the flutter of your eyes,

in your rough lips.

it hurt so good

for a moment.

i liked being lost

in nights that never ended

and smiles that lied

because we were not fine

but we pretended anyway

in a game of lies.

my demons came

to grasp my neck

while the bed we lay in

crumbled

because it was time for me

to meet myself.

i do not know the darkness

that drowns my eyes now.

i think i took your demons with me.
