I know an angel
with a broken halo.
I swear that
when she wears her hair back
it looks like horns.
I gave her the most
beautiful rose
the earth grows,
even though it had the worst thorns.
But of course she clutched it,
Even though others wouldn't touch it.
And as she began to bleed,
I couldn't believe,
I started to weep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As it got harder to speak, part of the dream parted with me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, naturally,
I'm acting free
but, actually,
what's happening
is I'm just running from what's after me.
And I don't even have to be.
Now go ahead, laugh at me.
You have to see
I crafted me
a mastery
using practically
half of me.
Still,
I claimed the throne happily.
Now,
bow before your Majesty.
As I sit,
and I watch her
from the chair
in the corner.
I forget,
I'm not going to be here
in the morning.
Even though,
Yesterday looks
so sweet,
as she lay there
asleep,
I already promised
Tomorrow
today we would meet.
