Demon, why do I love you so?
Your cold embrace leaves chills on my arms
Scaring my but comforting me as well
I shouldn’t love you; I should hate you
All you do is tear me down
You seduce me with your whispered lies
And I fall into your cold embrace
I give you my will freely, though I fight to get it back
You cut into my skin
Graceful but terrifying
But I protect you
Wrapping my arms around your neck in a sweet embrace
No matter the cost
I give up so much for you
But you give me nothing in return
Just sorrow and anger
You kill my soul with your cold words
That I stupidly believe every time
You cover me in the color red
That fades to white lines over time
You beg for me to join the dead
Promising it will be better for every one
You kill my soul more and more
She screams in agonizing pain
Screaming for me to give you up
But oh I love you too much to save her
I live in bondage to you
Uncaring to the fact that you kill me
All because I believed your lies
Oh Depression, why do I love you so?

I really like this. Although I don't think you should've given away what the demon was at the end. I think it would have been better to let the readers decide for themselves what the demon was.
