Analysis of She Demon
Free Verse (5,7,5)
She Demon
Now she comes for me
in the darkness of midnight
when all evil dwells
Wicket by nature
risen by Satan himself
sitting next to Him
In the pits of hell
from the bowels of the earth
covered in red blood
From a graceless walk
to a eerie creep of limbs
the she demon comes
Pounding on the walls
screeching, ever so screeching
echoing throughout
Dauntingly searching
for the freshness of new guts
in the stealth of night
From under my bed
hidden Within my closets
where shall she appear
Oh, my fear, my fear
takes over in the darkness
In the throngs of fright
Amidst the blackness
she scratches with shearing claws
upon the dark halls
My thoughts are to run
yet there is nowhere to go
from under her haunts
I shall face her now
with my bible in left hand
and cross in right hand
From scripter readings
I shall send her back to hell
spiralling in flames
Beneath the soils core
never to return again
In a night of dark
