Demons
The glow of the day wanes in the west
And the Demons of the night invade my chest
They cannot be laid to rest
Although I have tried my best
Their alive in my chest
I long for the day to make the demons go away
But they persist and stay
Pain and sorrow
Must you stay until tomorrow
I long for the day to keep the Demons at bay
I long for the day
At best the light of day
They are at bay
Will they stay
No one can say
I can only hope and pray
May/95
