-AN AMATURE REWRITING OF “REVERSIBILITY” BY CHARLES BAUDELAIRE-
Angel of love,
Have you known heartbreak?
The tears that fall to the ground,
And the everlasting ache?
Angel of peace,
Have you known war?
The blood that has been spilled,
And loss like never before?
Angel of light,
Have you seen the dark?
Hands curled around nothing,
Empty prayers for a spark?
Angel of beauty,
Have you seen the ugly?
The prejudice in the world,
And the hate for that which is unlovely?
Angel of music,
Have you heard the silence?
The beat between the yells,
And the quiet driven by defiance?
Demon so cruel,
Have you ever been in love?
Or just turned your head from the light,
And cursed the angels above?
