Prose – A Haven for My Demon


– A Haven for My Demon –

Come brightly into this world
that I have created for you,
from the spoils of a haven
that I have conquered by love.
Come inside of me,
and let me be your shelter.
I will be your padding
when the walls close in.

Though your heart
may burn for me
in want and longing,
that longing is no sin.
Let us make believe at least,
for the moments ahead,
that you are happier
than you have ever been.
