My Permanent Demons - Chasity Hamiltion

The night continues on,
a sea of ebony meanings
marked by the fiery stars
that smolder and burn in your eyes.

And I'll stay awake for hours,
thinking of those eyes,
seeing only those eyes.

And I'll wrestle with the guilt
that you left within me.
I'll fight the tugging feelings,
as the hours trickle away slowly.

If I could just remain,
one solid piece of stone,
then morning light could save me-
but I'm cracking.

My marble flesh is cracking,
breaking from the inside out.
the inside out, you come for me.
the demons that refuse to cease.

Dry eyes, no tears you see.
I am stone cold.
I refuse, I refuse
to let you break me.

Breaking from the inside out.
the inside out you come for me.

And I'll stay awake for hours
thinking of those eyes,
seeing only those eyes-
feeling only the demons,
that refuse to cease.
