Demons: Prompt

Demons
Demons; they haunt me each night in my dreams. They know my truth, they have seen my reality; the dark void I find myself trapped in, the void they cherish, the void they laugh in. Their cold laughter rings through the void, eating away at my cold soul. My soul cannot go on without further nourishment, it is dying, I am dying.
My soul is broken now, trapped in the dark void. Nobody loves me, when I'm awake or I'm asleep; they have all died, I have been left behind. Left behind as though I were nothing. They didn't leave me for dead, they left me for death, as though whatever lies beyond the grave is more than I could have ever given them.
I am afraid of this loneliness. Nobody has loved me in so long, I am so alone; I remember, each day and night I remember the last man that ever loved me. The last time I saw him, he just walked right by me as though he did not know me. I remember what I did to hurt him, and I understand. That man is not dead; but he is dead to me. He tries to be dead to my eyes. And the demons tell me he is dead, and I know that if he is alive, he will never be mine; so why not give into their charade?
I have done this to myself, I realize. I tell that to myself every day and every day I cry. My tears are blood, my eyes are dark. Nothing is worth living for anymore. My mind is broken, my soul rots away; you cannot save me, it is too late.
You tell me you like me, that you want me. I wonder why. I am just a girl stuck in the darkness. I know I cannot escape, though it seems your would have me try. I am sorry that this is something quite beyond me, the ability to escape. I am nothing more than a girl who tried and fell short. Who could never do it right, who broke hearts and rules.
Why do you want me?
Why do you call to me?
I have come to love the darkness.
I am not trapped anymore.
I am willing to stay.
Please.
Don't come for me.
Don't take me away.
