Love Poem: Burning Bright

Burning Bright

My demons are inside of me burning bright 
My alter ego has found his own pride
The smile on my face is a lie
My demons are inside of me burning bright 

Words that rhyme from the heart of a desperate man
Poetry from the pen of a tortured artist 
Arms extended in hopes someone will offer a hand 
Stumbling and slipping as I walk through the darkness 

Blood on the pavement, from my scars that are unhealed 
This is what happens when your nightmares become real
Enemies can attack you a hundred times
But loved ones will destroy you by just crossing the line

a ladies man who gave a lot of females times that were Memorable
Until Depression struck and I pushed them away, thinking I had nothing to offer
Alcohol and emotions don't mix well as chemicals 
I have a bad relationship with Vodka

It makes me feel things I wish to forget
Thinking about my old girl as I kiss on my one night stands neck
A threesome without her even being here 
She hurt me so much, I don't have a piece of my heart left to spare  

My demons are inside of me burning bright 
My alter ego has found his own pride 
The smile on my face is a lie 
My demons are inside of me burning bright
