The Demon in My Bed

I look into your eyes and see the darkness that’s consumed you

I wonder sometimes if I ever even knew you

A sober moment, a fleeting thought

Then it’s back to the reasons we fought

Another fight

Another sorry

Another woman

Another story

Now it’s over without a warning

A grave I didn’t know I was mourning

The demon in my bed,

Whispering lies when I should’ve fled.
