Demon

Demon,
you and I have danced,
since our introduction by Pops.

We've said cheers,
shed tears,
you've smothered fears,
allowed my defenses to drop.

Lately our dance has been regular,
like after 9 to 5,
each time we take a spin,
more of me dies.

You're holding me strong,
making my living wrong,
got me groovin' with you,
in the dark too long,
on this soul deading song.

Demon,
we're through,
take your 80 proof,
your intoxication moves,
I'm done with you.

No more celebratory occasions,
special circumstance,
time to soul dance,
with my light.

I got this now!
No more coward's way out!

I'm two-steppin,
one day,
one moment,
at a time.
