The Devil Within

[i]An empty room with the life sucked out of it  
a vortex of hate alone, still exists
dark fingers claw at my skin  
with an ice-like grip.  
  
"Despair, all who enter here"  
should be posted on the door  
enter the gauntlet at your own peril  
this place is a twisted maze.  
  
Where  loved  bloomed  
it has withered and died  
now a labyrinth of malicious intent  
a razor sharp tongue cuts me down to the quick.
    
Bleeding fits of rage  
angry tears stream down my face  
I want to tear out your eyes  
for the pain you've put me through.  
  
Though I can't see or touch you  
because when you're some thing intangible  
I can't reach, or kill  
when you're the devil within.[i]
