My Demon Said...

By PrettyLittleReaper

My demon said… he said,
"Kill me once, I am dead.
Kill me twice, my soul has fled.
Kill me thrice, it's in your head.
 
Before the night is won,
A knock, knock, knock
Will have you on the run.
For behind the solid door,
Is a burden time has bore.
 
Before you answer the call,
Count your blessings,
Count them all, all, all.
 
For burdens play with fire,
and wilt the withered soul.
For regrets taste ever bitter,
And never make you whole.
 
Be wary little one…
The endless night is dark,
Be cautious precious jewel,
Your innocent light is a mark.
 
It's a beacon in the void,
And will give away your spot.
For all the forsaken monsters,
Cant wait to see you rot, rot, rot."
