1. Demons of the Night

    It’s nights like these that scare him

    The demons of the night come out to endlessly flirt with him

    Their embrace sucking the air from his lungs

    They battle to alter his thoughts

    He has the strength of love on his side though

    No matter how hard the demons fight he is able to fight them off

    He fights tirelessly 

    As he looks at the clock he sees the numbers make out a seemingly arbitrary number 4:37

    He picks up his cell phone finds her number and hovers over it for a second

    He wants to hear her voice, just wants to be there

    His reasoning takes hold and he remembers what those numbers meant

    He puts the phone down again

    He wonders if she thinks of him

    Wonders if she wonders of him in times like these

    The soft glow of the sun rise begins to impede on his thought process

    The demons are held at bay for just a little while longer

    The casualties are cleared from the battlefield

    Tomorrow the fight will continue

    Her face always running through his head
