The Path

A path I’ve walked before

A path I know so well

A path that was old

This time the path was cold

As I walked it seemed new

New and fresh feelings

New like freshly fallen morning dew

Like morning dew is wet

So were my eyes

From my cries

As I walked home

 

As I walked I wept

As my mind tried to sweep

The pain and tears away

By demons I am blessed

But it’s an angel that got me messed

I’ve never had much luck

It seems I’m always stuck in the muck

You could have saved me

Demons are in my head

From what an angel said

 

What kept me walking

Was thoughts of your laughter

What made me cry

Was the thought that came after

The thought that you didn’t want to save me

Even though you’re my angel

You sent the demons to me

My loving angel is gone

Because she done wrong

 

You will always be my angel

The angel that made me glad

Glad to see your smile

Now I look at pictures

I get a taste of bile

I’m getting sick of missing you

Sick of the demons that haunt

The demons that taunt

That this is a useless life

 

What keeps me going

Is the thought that your still there

I still need an angel friend

To stop the demons from time and time again

So I call you up

Listen to your voice

I know it drags on the suffering

But I got no choice

You’re an angel with power

And your presence is a cleansing shower

From the demons that are around

 

I’m walking a new path now

A path in my mind

That I thought I’d never find

A path that should not have been found

A path that you, an angel did show

A path were the demons follow as I go

Will you ever save me some day?

Or will another angel have to help me find my way

I wish it could be you

But I guess the devil

Was an angel too
