The demon screams
From inside the locked box
Gasping for air
Clawing nails between every seam
Trying to muster enough strength
To pry the boards apart
In hopes of inhaling deeply
Between the muffled screams
I stand outside
And wait for the silence
Just when I think
All breaths are held captive
I hear a gasp and thud from within
Reminding me
Of the mess I've made
That's still alive and kicking
Held tortured in solitary
Within the frozen hard ground
Please go away
All day I pray
As above so below
Waiting for the stillness
To wash over me
And paint my setting
The color of calm
Budding into a spring season
Life will be better then
Resolved and rectified
Final closure
followed by acceptance
The demon laid to rest
Soon to be
Just a distant memory
My mind will clear
Finally free to dream
My sleep uninterrupted
Without you in the present
Locked inside and buried
Without a heart or pulse
My world's best kept secret
Filed in a chapter
Just a page in the past
