adam-2 - Hello Poetry

I once was an angel but then I fell Straight to hell and here I'll stay Pray for me and my pride Hide away my halo I hold the blade and cut my wings Demons sing at the blood ritual Spiritual days behind me now How I'll miss the sun Still I hear the people's screams Dreams were ripped away by fire Pyres lit the evening sky Dying in the thousands God was angry at their lack of prayers Fair He said, they have been told Cold he sent me down to them Stem my tears I tried His word was not to be questioned so Go to them on wings of death Breath was held in my chest Test my faith He did Now I sit here in blood soaked feathers Never was there anything sadder Madder than a fallen angel Hell will be my home

Cut these wings

I once was an angel but then I fell Straight to hell and here I'll stay Pray for me and my pride Hide away my halo I hold the blade and cut my wings Demons sing at the blood ritual Spiritual days behind me now How I'll miss the sun Still I hear the people's screams Dreams were ripped away by fire Pyres lit the evening sky Dying in the thousands God was angry at their lack of prayers Fair He said, they have been told Cold he sent me down to them Stem my tears I tried His word was not to be questioned so Go to them on wings of death Breath was held in my chest Test my faith He did Now I sit here in blood soaked feathers Never was there anything sadder Madder than a fallen angel Hell will be my home

I awaken to a sound I sit up slowly and look around The room is full of shadows The gloom makes them dance but none of that matters I tell myself it's all in my head And the fact the previous owner was found last year dead In this very same bed Is making me jumpy and grabbing a bat I walk to the hallway instead Lead by my own fears but trying to face them And looking down at the long stairs It's dark at the bottom but I try not to care I think I see movement below Do I stay here, put on a brave show The answer I already know As I run to my room and now lock the door It's ok to call the police They could drive by and look in at least I quickly get under the sheets And sit there a moment shaking in fear I turn on the light on my phone And that's when I realise that I'm not alone

I awaken to a sound I sit up slowly and look around The room is full of shadows The gloom makes them dance but none of that matters I tell myself it's all in my head And the fact the previous owner was found last year dead In this very same bed Is making me jumpy and grabbing a bat I walk to the hallway instead Lead by my own fears but trying to face them And looking down at the long stairs It's dark at the bottom but I try not to care I think I see movement below Do I stay here, put on a brave show The answer I already know As I run to my room and now lock the door It's ok to call the police They could drive by and look in at least I quickly get under the sheets And sit there a moment shaking in fear I turn on the light on my phone And that's when I realise that I'm not alone

We bought a small house in this town, the agent showed us round I said "It's nice" my daughter frowned but at least the place was cheap the papers signed it was ours to keep. Later that day a jeep pulled up outside the local sheriff, gun at his side, oh my he is so cute, with badge and boots and stepping out to meet him I say "hi" Oh my, I wish I was wearing lace "Howdy mamm, I'm officer grace, and I see you've taken the old Milner place, so I've got to warn you, now you take a care don't go past the trees over there." "Why's that officer, are there bears?" "No mamm, but the previous owners kids drowned up there in the lake, nice kids they were, Molly and Jake" For ***** sake, is this guy for real? No wonder this place was such a deal I quickly look for my daughter, she's playing there like kids oughta in the summer sun with the neighbours son, it's good to see she's having fun. She's running like she hasn't a care, with her new ribbon in her hair, "Well thank you officer grace," I say "I'll tell her to be careful where she plays" That night we enjoyed a lovely meal in this place has such a ***** feeling, my daughter tells me all about her day and all the wonderful friends she made. She's still at that age to make friends so soon and the next day as I was pushing a broom opening the door to my daughter's room, a woman's work just never ends. I see she's already gone out with her friends she's left me a note. There must be some mistake, it says mom, I've gone to play with Molly and Jake. Wait, that's not right, it cannot be reaching the lake I drop to my knees, I could see the ribbon I had bought her it was just floating there in the water. I knelt there for hours screaming her name till eventually the neighbours came, they searched the woods for many weeks all I could do was sit and weep. I had many visits from officer grace who had dragged the lake without a trace of my angel, she's gone,.... and before too long I was upstairs packing boxes to go. I would never be able to call this a home the house was full of bad memories and looking out the window at the trees I could see three children staring at me. Running outside I hear" mom I missed you" Hugging my angel I say "I missed you too" This is as happy as I can be, my baby has come back to me..... Three months later the realtor was saying, "Now, the deposit, is it cash you're paying?" "Oh, and before you say yes, there is one thing I have to digress, by law, about three months ago or more, the previous owner was found dead on this floor. She just stood by this window and slit her own wrists." The new owner says " **** so this house comes with a twist?" "It's nothing to worry about, she was just riddled with guilt. After her daughter died her mind started to wilt." The buyer says, "we'll take it, my kids are already unpacking. " "That's great, so I will be back in a few hours to to check in on you, and bring the spare keys too" And as the agent was turning to leave, she pauses, a momentary reprieve. " there's one thing I forgot to mention, silly me, tell your kids not to go past those trees."
