The Demon Inside

​The Demon Inside (Villanelle)
 
We see the person you hide
the secret under your true skin
The fiery demon inside
 
the smile is where you lied
an insincere grin
We see the person you hide.
 
angelic eyed
gateways to the underneath sin
The fiery demon inside
 
presenting the delicate side
there is fire within
We see the person you hide
 
respect for others is set aside
makes your thoughts thin
The fiery demon inside
 
the true you can be a blindside
seeping though the skin
We see the person you hide
The fiery demon inside
