Dream Demon


I stand alone in dusk
beneath the window watching, waiting
as I gaze out at the night sky
wishing I could fly
and join the calmness of void
to be without my memory
and leave behind the pain of life.

Dream demons beckon
as I yearn to be
they come to take me away
how I wish that I were free
I obey their every command
as I drink the blood to die
the black enfolding me.

I stand alone in dusk
now one with the night
embracing winds of scent
as I cling to only dreams
and my wings unfold in flight
my fangs bared to feed
the cries of death unheard in life.

I stand alone in dusk
existance hard to bear
life and death reject me
and I crawl to an open grave
wishing I could fly
and join the clamness of nothing
leave behind the pain of being.

Dream demons beckon
as Iyearn to be
they come to take me away
how I wish that I were free
I obey their every command
as I drink the blood to die
the black enfolding me.

I stand alone in dusk
my body weakened by the years
hoping my time will expire
and I fall to the ground
to gaze up at the stars
slowly encircling my soul
as i let it rot in pain.

Dream demons beckon
as Iyearn to be
they come to take me away
how I wish that I were free
I obey their every command
as I drink the blood to die
the black enfolding me.
