Evil Cannot Bear

June 29, 2011

He came, this demon from the depths

And sat astride my chest,

A force of darkness magnified

Allowing me no rest.

His blackened hands around my throat,

The life-force fading fast,

I gasped for air, I could not breath

Nor could much longer last.

A strength within my soul arose

That now he meant to claim

I called to one within me close,

I spoke the secret name.

His hands released, he quickly fled

For evil cannot bear,

Retreating to the land of dead

The power that answers prayer.
