I am Haunted Tonight by the demons of my past

Lurking in doorways and seen down a distance corridor and appear

In my face, in my mind’s eye when I lift my head

Haunted.

I wonder if other souls that walk this earth have their own demons

Children, war heroes, young old.

Maybe a fat mans’ demon is a fatter man

Or possibly a laughing and snickering crowd.

Straight ‘A’ students’— failure.

I am haunted, haunted by what is to come as I watch others walk.

You look fine, why do you wear an “at ease” expression when I see demons follow you?

These demons are your shadows, going with you everywhere.

As the sun comes to it’s peak, your demons become longer, 

As long as your inky black shadow.

Yet the night plays its part,

Night is a demon’s power; they use it against you, your fears become more prominent.

I am Haunted Tonight by what I fear most

You do not want to know what I fear.

Demons, Demonios, duiwels, Dämonen

They all mean the same: Demons

Demon in the darkness.
