Im gone again
that overwhelming feeling of hopelessness
has snuck back into me
and called out my demons
one by one.

They laugh as they take me
make me
and its all I can do to
clench my teeth
and fight them back down.

I hear them giggling inside me
throaty chuckles of depravity
gurgling hints of darkness
and I am a scream inside tonight.

You see me and its instant
your eyes soften
and you tilt your head to one side.

You dont need words to voice your concern
I love that about you
you've sensed my need
and respond.

Your hand runs down my cheek
and you kiss me
murmuring to me
stroking my bleeding soul.

I try to push away
because I dont want you touched by this
but your not to be denied
and with care
and a gentleness beyond belief
you sooth me once again.

I lie in your arms
spent from sex and emotion
as you sing to me again
as you bring me back once more
from the demons calling.

I hate how often you have to do this
I hate the sound of them
but as I lay on you
in you
I realise they lead you to my soul
and thats all I ever wanted.

Very very strong writing here. Thank you for sharing this very "inside" piece.
