In The Flesh

Amazing....the way you wear your "human suit" so well.
Balancing "emotion" like a trained trapeze artist....

Oh....you're good.I give you that...too bad they cant see
those spurs growing out of your back .... like I can.
Parading around like a gentle soul... with a fragile exterior

Yet I am the one who sees your face morph...into a beast
when you glance at yourself in the mirror...

Yes...I know what lies beneath ....
I hear that devil-speak when you sleep
as I wonder how long you will be able to keep
this secret...
skin shifting under the pale moonlight...
I dare not move near you...
because I'm smart...not because I fear you.
But I ....have slayed many demons in my day...
so I watch and observe you...and silently pray
See I know that you are worse than a "Mr. Gray"
 
Extra terrestrial.... hhmmmm...not in any way
You are a spirit... demon- in- the- flesh here
to wreck havoc and play....

I see you ... in your twilight time...
when your human skin is thin....
I see you... when you dine....upon the sins of men....
No one would believe...so I utter not a word
I will not be called crazy..insane or absurd...
For I've seen you in your element... I've seen your evil stare
I've felt your presence ...it's evident even when you were not there....

See, I know creatures much like you...I've seen you ALL
before...
I 've seen you in your shifting hours standing outside
Pandora's Door...
I've seen you jump in and out of unsuspecting souls
To possess and discard the rest... I know this is your goal
But Trust....I'll be around
I'm watching you every day
I'm watching as you enjoy...
all your succulent prey
I'm watching...that's for sure...
Most definitely....
For I know the secret to slaying you...
and I will...
remove you... completely
To and fro I watch you ...
no I will never rest ...
because I know what you are...
You are a Demon...In The Flesh.
