There’s a Demon

There's a demon, which pursues me
Devouring my soul-
And the peace for which I'm seeking
He doth from me with hold.

Like the flames of Hell around me
The tentacles of rage-
And fury oft surround me-
E'en more so as I age.

Futility of passions
Add fuel unto the fire
I rail and strike about me
The flames keep leaping higher.

Death and devastation
In every waking breath
Frustration at the weakness
which is all that I have left-

And of the fabled Banshee-
I've heard the mournful cry-
A harbinger to tell me
That, soon, I too, must die.

Gunslinger,
I Found this an interesting piece. It read very smoothly and has an intriguing theme to it. Simply loved the "Futility of passions" line.
