His Demons

Heart thumping, pulse racing

Is how he feels around you.

Staring is his only motive of ever dreaming to talk to you,

Scared... and feeling alone he know nows not the time...

To bring anyone into this misery he's created for himself.

If he brought you in like he's done to so many others,

He would be sad and afraid.

People keep trying to help him,

But it seems they only make it worse.

Why can't they just accept it,

He's not himself anymore!

He thinks he's starting to get used to the new him,

With his mask of shame and regret and all things that haunt him, he knows... he knows for sure it's not the time.

With things left unsaid and left undone he'll leave you just to protect you,

Protect you from the rage he feels about himself every night.

Protect you from the fright of who he truly is,

You can't save him now... no one ever could.

He's not one to be messed with,

He'll just blame it on you... so just leave him alone... its all you can do!

But he knows you'll come back,

So that's why he's waiting.

To scare you back off,

To show you he's protecting you from who he really is... from the demons that haunt him...

From the demons that haunt him and hold him so dear,

There his best friends... his only friends.

To the angels who have given up on him,

He knows you'll give up to... so that's why he's watiting.

Can't you see it?

He's waiting for you!
