A girl sat alone in her room
Never letting her brain slow
Demons ravaged her thoughts


They tried to warn her
Her demons weren’t demons
Each trying to save her from him
Never quite getting through to her


She fought for him every day
He fought for her as well
Eventually he stopped fighting


Being the only fighter was hard
Realizing he stopped caring
Only crushed her more
Killing her spirit and hopes
Even her demons couldn’t save her now
