Chapter 39 - A Warning

It's hurting

You're lashing

With the pain

Anger

You keep spinning around

And aiming a pointing finger

Who's next? Who's next?

No telling who has to hide

Bide their time

Wait till the storms past

I watch

As you reach the eye of the storm

I can't make a sound

As I see them resurface

For fear of being caught

When the storm comes back around

I watch

As their eyes meet mine

Caught in a silent plea

Calling out so desperately

But I never moved

I'm still hiding

I watch

As new people approach

From density or

A hopeless campaign

To save whose been tossed

Or destroy the very one who's lost

But approach they do

I wait until you're back is turned

Just to trip the wicked spur

And pull the innocents

Back into the shadows

And watch as you whip around

Ready to pounce

On the fallen

On the standing

The retreating

Or the charging

It doesn't matter who you reach

As long as their someone you seek

To dull your pain

Anger

Until the lashing slows

And the hurting ebbs and flows

Away

And its finally ok to stay

The survivors of your storm

Need to heal from the thorns that tore

Whilst I

Pretend I had never left

And hadn't seen a thing

Ignoring those who wept

Shutting of any emotions that would bring

Ill take your hand

Quietly wipe whatever tears remain

And take you outside to play

Hand in hand

With your monster back in its pen

Walk away with you

Oblivious

To the damage dealt

Or the scars inflicted

Even though its my place to say

Im still not strong enough today

If I even try to open my mouth

Then it would be venom leaking out

Wisps of dark emotions come to light

Now I have my own will to fight

In the name of protection

Morality

Fore now MY demon's

Knocking on the door

Beating

Kicking

Screaming

Fueled by what its seen

And excited for what it has in store

I've closed all windows to the soul

No more warnings

Unfortunately

But its the price I paid

So your support I could stay

But please

Heed me

Be as far away from here

Every inch you can muster

Please I pray

When my demon finally comes out to play

Because when I break

There will be no hesitation

No pause to take

I closed my eye so no one could see it

So there won't be a single break

For those who have to endure it

The demon inside

Already has a wall planned

For displaying the hides

Of those it marked

But my demon only wants to eat

The ones with a monster lurking

In their hearts

No matter the pain

Anger

If you're lashing

Even if its hurting

We'll eat you first

So while I can

I'll help to banish the fan

That incites your flames

So you will be taken off my demon's list

One day
