Demons

kitty the naughty poet

Demons.

Demons live within

strangling my soul to an inch from death

as the reaper magically appears shouting,

"LET HER LIVE!"

I beg, and I plead, 

"JUST LET THEM KILL ME I LONG FOR THIS LIFE NO MORE!"

the grim takes a finger and strokes his chin,

"NO," he said, "I HAVE A PLAN!"

so the grim my demons and I made a deal

I had to stay in the land of the living

but my demons had to help 

be a friend of sorts,

then in return, they could possess my face.

some time went past 

and my demon face scared everyone away

except one,

who made the same deal with the devil

only a few years ago

Now,

our demons live side by side in harmony 

but by God in hell 

I could murder the guy some days...

        Daemons making deals and Grimm i love that show and the o rigional children's books. The last two lines made me chuckle the idea you were actually speaking of marriage and how sometimes even the smallest things grind our gears. Lovely metaphor and imagery

        ha, that old adage
        'a couple
        of demons, thinking alike'
        one plots a shower murder
        the other a poisoned dinner...
        (such a relatable and fun read
        and although the frustration
        that inspired this write, is palpable
        in each line
        so is, the tender love
        that makes accepting it all seemingly, worthwhile)

        You lucky thing.... having met your soulmate.
        A demon put a curse on sleeping beauty so that each time she looked in a mirror she would see an ugly old hag. One observer said to the other, that sleeping beauty is such a fine looking woman, the other replied, yes i agree but isn't she sloppy with her make-up.
