Dark Angel

if i look into the eyes of this angel

will she know my name?

 

or will she turn away

because she knows my shame

and wonder why i even came?

 

If i touch the hand of this angel

will she feel my pain?

or will she turn away

because she can see the stain

on my heart and know just who's to blame?

if i kiss the lips of this angel

will she erase my hate

 

or will she turn away

and leave me to burn

inside my childish rage?

 

and if i ever see this angel

will she still be from heaven

 

or will she have turned away

and become what i made

the demon that i so crave

 

her smile

and her hands

and her joy

and her laughter

and her tears

and her grace

all left shattered

and her love

and her wings

and her halo

all gone

 

and if i leave this angel

will i leave a man?

 

or will she burn me where i stand

because she knows i am truly ******

and i need a to finally understand

that all i was and all i am

is doomed to never know the plan

in the mind of the great one, the I Am

just to wander on inside this sham?

 

this sham that is my exsistence; that is my life

that is the reason for so much strife

that cuts the innocent like a knife

that gives to others anger rife

 

and if i die in this angels arms

will she send me to my eternal death

 

or will she turn me away

from hells tormentous touch?

of this i truly pray

 

yet something tells me that all she is

is my souls desperate wish to stay away

from the judgement that will come one day

and she'll have nothing left for her to say

except you have gone too far astray

and now all of your yesterday

will make your tomorrow never after today
