My demon came to visit today
I didn't think she'd be here long but looks like shes going to stay
She un packed her bag with the usual items, sorrow, regret, helplessness, guilt
But she brought another one I hadn't seen for quite some time, jealousy, in a beautifully dark hand made quilt
A sinking feeling overwhelmed me at the sight of those green eyes
I have no rival, so why has she brought it, is it for my eventual demise?
Self esteem at an all time low, her blanket of resentment falls over me
A covering I struggle to find release from, would acknowledgement and attention banish thee?
The demon detaches me from everyday life, making it hard for me to cope
Sometimes when she's angry she'll pack a length of rope
She makes me feel cloudy and grey even though outside the sun is shining
Does she have a fairy tale ending, doubt it, my cloud has no silver lining
I say to her I'll put the kettle on
If your plans are to stay
But she opens the door, let's in the light and leaves jealousy for another day
It's amazing what a cup of tea will do
