I See
As I look in its eyes I see a web full of lies. I see the darkness in its heart. I see the demon living inside. I see the secrets it hides, pulled in by the dark. I see how much blood shed to feel nothing at all. Just for a moment the eyes soften and sadness washes over its face. I see it has been taught no love only hate. As the creature’s eyes slowly lift back to mine, I get jolted awake. For the creature I see is just the reflection of me.

This poem is wonderful in a very dark way. I've felt like that so many times...it's great to know somebody understands

"I see has how much blood shed to feel nothing at all."
This is the only line I found troubling; maybe an edit to take out "has"?
Other than that - Awesome! One for the list.
