She, A Lonely Soul

She

Knew demons were taking control,

They were hidden away

So no-one would know,

Invading her mind

They refused to leave,

Lost in her misery

She started to grieve,

Not for a departed

But demons still there

Insisting her life

They were happy to share.



Trembling and shaking

She survived one more day,

Praying her demons would

Soon go away.



Then a neighbour hesitatingly came

Carrying a puppy

That had sad eyes, and lame,

She felt heartbroken

(That puppy had charm)

As it cuddled in

To the crook of her arm,

No home did it have

It was unwanted and weak,

Abandoned by someone

Who had a cruel streak.



Her demons just vanished,

A smile spread on her face

As she devoted her time

To a companion named 'Grace',

They now help each other

New owner and pet,

No demons or misery

Or signs of regret.
