I Gave It...Its Name

CATEGORY

just different

I tried so hard to slay the demon inside 
Neglected the very fact that I gave it...its name 

I fed it long ago 
With all the stories I told 
Served it lies and deceit 
Meanwhile, expecting it not to ruin my flame

I remembered the day when "it" and "I" became one 
The day my flesh was upon another flesh 
Of course, not in holy matrimony 
Ever since then I was never the same 

I thought my sin would lose its reign
But, it had so much more to gain 
For my body was inhabited by a host who's tactic was completely insane 

I watched how my light slowly dimmed it's shade
Tried its hardest to hid the pain 
But, my face reflected the shame 
While the darkness within engulfed my skin
And left me to be lamed
