I wear a halo that won't glow.
I have scars that don't show.

All the while the church is on fire.
I seek solace from the Devil's ire.

This body is cursed.
I seek light only to be reserved.

My halo doesn't shine, so lay rest to this soul of mine.

They told me the ocean wasn't deep, but I felt the floor yield under feet.

At the time I was grinning, all the while the sinning. Intoxicated my head was spinning.

This halo shines no rays, but it did in younger days.

Love sick and stricken so gravely with grief, I reared back my arm and I pulled out his teeth.

The blood in my eyes that tells pages of truth, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.

Kicking the body that lay on the ground, Satan's imps cheered as they all gathered 'round.

Telling of evil so sweet and so wild, I leave behind peace so tender and mild.

Rays of light piercing clouds over the shore, I beheld in great awe all beauty and galore.

For even stronger than any hate there is desire and need. In my heart lies the budding seed.

A force in my that grows greater every day, I long for the words of which you say.

Speak to me and give me peace, look at me and be at ease.

Be you, kind.

Be lovely, be sweet, and let me cherish you.

A single beat of a sullen heart gave strength and vigor for it to start.

A fiery torrent welling up, a future glimpse of the runneth cup.

Show me your heart, lass. Show me fragility made of glass.

Show me that fire that I know you harbor, and I'll show you a flame so greatly larger.

Smile dear, for with me you have little to fear.

I may have had too much loneliness to drink. I think that I have become drunk.

I'm looking at all the pretty, pretty colors on the birds that fly by and it makes my heart ache something fierce.

"My, my, aren't you a special thing! Right fit to make my heart burst with sickness." My hand jolts in rythmic patterns as I hold the blade and fight tthe urge to drive it into my eye.

I"m just finding outlets and sticking paperclips into them. My teeth clench and my tongue hurts from the strain. Where is my brain?

Colors spring to life when I hear your voice, never regretting my heartfelt choice.

Days are filled with joyful sunshine, because of my knowing that you are mine.

My chest goes light when I'm met with sight of my Angel of light.

I fall to my knees in awe of this great love, this great power from high above.

Like the angel...

When I am laid in Earth, I pray that I may not trouble any innocent heart. For when my heart is weighed, I know that I shall be found wanting, withered, without and weary.

A life of evil I have left in my wake, for even with my years of atonement, it is still much more difficult to create that which is so easily destroyed. Forget me, Earth.

Forget this ******, raw nerve on your beautiful face and let the Sun purge my sins.

Remember, though...

...remember to always smile.

I love you.
