Demon in the Shadows

Return to me - "return"
For I know the thought once lurked there
In the corners of your mind
But now hidden, like the sins of past
Or do I know it?
This tumult in my soul
Rips all holds to reality
How can I see truth
When no truth cares to see me?
Dare I ask what I yearn to know?
Dare I project these thoughts onto another?
Or, yet, dare I contain them?
As a cage contains a violent beast
A futile task, one can surmise
But one to save the onlooker
Neither option appeals to me
I'll play the safe route
I'll contain my demons
And commit the ultimate
In unseen & unknown sacrifices
For you
