My fragile lenses reflected the light

As I sat and remembered my past life:

Perambulating in the summer sun,

My fair skin soaked up the purple rays

For beautiful times were nearing their end

And it’s back to demon hunting days

Demons… huh?

There are two in my house right now

One who comes and goes for days

And one whose good never stays

My demons are Providers

Clothing, Food, Shelter

Knowledge, Pain, Memories

While very possible to catch,

I could never bear to kill.

For suppress me they do…

Still holding me back against my will.
