DEMONS FLOCK WITH MURDER
Demons in my skin consuming what’s left within
Tearing at the veil of flesh I cannot begin
To fight a war against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder
I look into the abyss
And the void stares back at me
See myself chained to the wall
Just to revenge my disease
There is no restful silence
If you take away the stars
Only the grasp of despair
The jagged claws leave a scar
Demons haunt this shell imprison me in this cell
They tear at the veil of flesh with fingers from Hell
The war I fight against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder
In spite of this frail bloodline
That poisons me every day
I fight to keep from falling
Between the cracks of my grave
The bitter pills cut my throat
So I choke on blood at night
Jaded at the coming dawn
Where I left myself to die
Demons in my dreams, nightmarish, I cannot scream
Tearing at the veil of dusk with broken machines
I fight this war against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder
Tombstones crumble before my eyes
When I walk the path that was denied
I’ll pay the bill when the devil comes for his due
Until he gets the balls I’ll be here with you
With the vilest sentiments
That I may ever mutter
I sputter on this curse
That have plagued me forever
Demons haunt this shell imprison me in this cell
They tear at the veil of flesh with fingers from Hell
The war I fight against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder
Demons in my skin consuming what’s left within
Tearing at the veil of flesh I cannot begin
To fight a war against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder

Darkest Lord Hades wicked flow throughout
I could hear its rhythm thundering in my head..
lines like this beat into my skull
pounding out its haunting melody..
"Demons haunt this shell imprison me in this cell
They tear at the veil of flesh with fingers from Hell
The war I fight against enemies that thunder
Among the blackened skies and flocks with the murder'
you fucking killed it my Lord!!!
love Crim

There's something about this stanza that I love,
' In spite of this frail bloodline
That poisons me every day
I fight to keep from falling
Between the cracks of my grave
The bitter pills cut my throat
So I choke on blood at night
Jaded at the coming dawn
Where I left myself to die '
Especially the last line, it's quite vivid in portraying life's struggles I think and accentuates the whole poem..

Thank you. That particular stanza is about my struggles with diabetes. Everyone has a personal demon and that happens to be mine.

That's amazing because the way the last line changes to past tense gives it a feeling of describing a paradox, or recurring event I think, it's really a vivid depiction and it's great you were able to describe it poetically so well, bravely written...
