Remember
By Ella V.N., from Teen Ink
Do you remember me?
Once a pretty little girl
Dumb with innocence,
In love with a demon
In a little black dress.
Do you remember me?
My eyes once shone
With the dark of death,
For that demon inside me
Had poison on its breath.
Do you remember me?
The demon took over,
Gave my body to hell.
It drowned me in its
Blood-stained love,
And down and down
We fell.
Do you remember me?
The demon was its own demise,
Pushed me so hard I broke the skies.
I was dumb but you were too,
And somehow you didn’t realize
That if I died, you did too.
Oh demon, I know you remember me,
For there’s a piece of you
In my soul,
Just as there’s a piece
Of me
In you.
