Demons and Imps

I just want to hold you so tight and love you so hard

That you can let go of the demons and imps

That sit on your shoulders

Borne through lifetimes of trauma, abandonment, and pain

I just want to make them go away

Even though I know loving you that hard

And that much has its risks

And I may end up suffering intense pain myself

Reflected off of your torment

As you release the pain so deep in your soul

Causing you to lash out at me in fear

Of the unknown

Because this pain is all you have ever known

And it is comfortable and familiar.

But these demons and imps do not have to

Reside inside you.

They do not keep you safe

You can let them go

And surrender to my love

Let me wash the wounds away in the

Deep clear lake of my adoration

Let my love soften and erase

All the scars you are holding onto

Let me hold you and kiss the anguish away

I recognize the sadness in your eyes

That keeps you away from me

A sadness that reflects

The loneliness and emptiness in my heart

We are two

But we are the same

We are one

I just want to hold you so tight and love you so hard

That you can let go of the demons and imps

That sit on your shoulders
