Demona's Lament
by
T'Layna MacMathain

"How did I wind up like this?"
Her tortured mind repeatedly refrains
Like some cursed mantra
Deep from the darkest depths of Purgatory

Her emotions and sense of reality
Torn and tattered beyond all hope
She wishes for her heart to be filled with love
But those she meets runs in fear and hides

"You don't understand!" she cries through her tears
Her mind ablaze in the fires of pain and loss
"You are evil and wrong!" they cry as they flee
Yet deep inside she knows she is not

She is but a creature tormented
Victim of events and circumstances unforseen
Her denial complete, now more victim than villian
As insanity cunsumes her mind in raging flame

Her love now imprisoned, never more to be free
Her heart and soul now locked in a prison
Fashioned by her own considerable skill
To forever exist alone, now and forever.
