Your Demons Will Welcome A New Friend

Understanding who they really are

By Colleen Millsteed Published 4 years ago 1 min read

How do you really know

When you’ve met your match,

That one person connected

Your one perfect catch.

***

Often you feel so much love

Then realise it’s a mistake,

Their love, was it real at all

No damn it, it was all fake.

***

You hide away for awhile

Your demons scolding you,

Lecturing, you know better

As you hurt the way you do.

***

Your heart builds scar tissue

As you vow never to try again,

You build up your walls higher

Nobody is ever worth this pain.

***

But unbeknown to you

Your soulmate is near,

They will free your heart

You have nothing to fear.

***

Your soulmate won’t tiptoe

Won’t be your demons prey,

No they’ll ever so confidently

Ask your demons out to play.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
