Demon of Truth

There is a demon lurking,
It thrives on our lies,
Truths that are most painful,
Are the ones it makes us find.

It came to me without warning,
Creeped into my life,
An evil without mercy,
I could sense it late at night.

I began to feel it follow me,
But didn't know what or why,
It carried a message for me,
Snatched the blinders from my eye's.

Shivers wracked my body,
 nightmares when I'd sleep,
The truth it would show me,
Made me sick and weep.

The demon was actually smiling,
When the truth was there to see,
It new my every happiness,
Was ripped away from me.

All the trust I ever had,
For my fellow man,
Was forever more in pieces,
Crumpled in it's hand.

It thrived upon the hurtful truth,
An evil demons way,
 I saw my true reality
A piece of my soul died that day.

Really all it show me,
Is what I failed to see,
Deception was all around,
True lies and infidelity.
