Demon-dragons

last two letters of your first name

middle two letters of your last name

first two letters of your mother’s name

last letter of your father’s name

My heart feels like a firework

Just waiting to explode,

Though in shadows demons lurk

I think pain is what I’m owed.

True happiness I’m not deserving,

My demons wait, observing.

Black eyes look t’ward the threat,

But now your light protects me.

Was it you who paid my debt?

With you can I be happy?

How you do it I’m not sure,

But one day all will abide.

They shirk responsibility,

“Why me?” They scream, afraid.

Knowing the price must be paid.

But me? I seek you openly,

I search each day and night,

You hide just out of sight.

Though you do not want me,

Though you turn away.

“Take me!” I plead but nay,

You take those who unready,

Stand wondering at the gate,
