Author's Note: This was originally a song for a story I'm in the process of writing, but I thought it works well as a poem, too.

I'm so tired I can't sleep
Surrounded by light, all I can see is dark
Poison upon my skin, sinking deep
Pain is an arrow, always hitting it's mark

Face to face with the devil again
Reaching claws clamp upon my soul
I always thought I could escape, maybe I still can
But the darkness sets in, taking it's toll.

You saved me before, you cured me
Rid me of evil and healed me inside your love
This time I fear I'm too far gone for you to see
Even your powers aren't enough for me to rise above

I'm so tired I can't sleep
You're my light in all this dark
Your touch goes so deep
But you know the devil never misses his mark
