you hunted me down
like a malevolent, carnivorous bird,
a fearless eagle
targeted me easily like I was wounded animal,
but I was a fallen angel,
on my first day on earth,
couldn’t distinguish between bad and good,
i believed you were my savior
and you weren’t - but a furious predator,
you made the vague things clear,
i finally understood
the difference between
bad and good,

i got sent away
in a glamorous, golden express,
sparkling like some expensive jewellery,
that brought me back home,
and my home was heaven,
and now it’s been months since i finished my rehab,
and as tiny stars put their old mother to bed,
and as they bring a replacement for her,
i see eagles circling around a tower of a palace I’m living in,
i wear blue velvet and I put my halo on,
i rehearse my lines in my head,
hoping today will be the day of my salvation,
it’s my biggest dream,
although i can’t be saved
from something that saves me,
from something that is both
bad and good.
