This fantasy transformed into a fortress

the day the Demon came.

Swollen eyes and cold blood...

I wonder if I'll ever be the same?



Barricaded memories,

sweeping truths under the rug.

Hiding in the shadows,

lies the Demon, buried and smug.



Moving along, with pain put to rest.

Still, there's a scar fermenting in my chest.

It grows, and it burns, and it plays games,

Leaving my hope, to rise up in flames.



Sometimes, though, I can win the wretched war.

Fight the Demon, and settle the score.

For there's much more to life, than just this 'one thing'.

Living on borrowed time, dangling by a string.



Just when I feel that I'm in the clear,

It returns, with a resounding thump in my ear.

I don't want to listen, for I already know,

The grim details of this horror show.



So, wrap me in silk and send me to the Sun,

For the metamorphosis has begun.

I'm running away to another World,

A new awakening, unfurled.

I could be wrong, but i'll guess anyway. It sounds like it's about someone who is being abused by their spouse, they try to fight but they always come back. I haven't figured out the ending yet, maybe it's death or she's giving up, not sure. Am I close at all? Other than that I love this poem, it's very dark and beautiful, great composition :) I'm a writer too.
