Demon of Lonliness

A demon flew out of the dark
Night sky.
Swooped and soared.
It gave a cry,
A piercing cry.
That tore apart the hearts of men.
It shattered their souls
Like glass.
It was the demon of loneliness.
That night it was hunting,
Hunting to shattered and torment
. Happiness pained it,
It lived, it breathed to fill
The hearts of men with woe.
While all that were contented that night
Lay dying in their beds,
The creature came upon a boy
Who only stared blankly into the
Eyes of the beast.
It gave out a great cry,
Finishing off those who were dying.
The boy stood there,
Staring unwavering.
The boy's heart was filled with pain and sorrow,
No more room was left for the beast to conquer.
He tried with all his might,
The lonely demon did.
Until the boy's innocent yet pain
Etched face.
Broke the beast,
It wept and flew away,
And left the reminisce of the town,
And it's dead.
The boy stood and looked,
At the ruinous town.
The boy only shrugged
And went back to sleep.
