The Unseen Demon

My soul is bleeding from the inside out

His claws are gripping me tight

His purpose, to steal the joy that I've known

And drag me away from the light

This demon devours my reason to live

He even haunts my dreams

Though try as I might to ignore his voice

The silence gives way to his screams

Wounded each day, a piece of me dies

I'm empty and feeling numb

My heart grows weary, as it fills up with doubt

While praying for peace to come

Fighting a demon that my eyes can't see

Cursed to believe his lies

His purpose, to murder the essence of trust

And to claim my soul as his pirze

This demon called Jealousy, feeds on my soul

And leaves me crippled and maim

Yet I fight this monster that my eyes can't see

With only myself to blame

Jealousy is an awful beast. You've captured the inner struggle quite well in this poem. Excellent writing, again.
