A silly little pen trick One I'm not sure I will ever fully master Still reminds me of you That beautiful smile you hid behind Caramel colored hair Eloquent curls but wicked and twisted Just as the lies you fed me Those petite hands Soft and delicate Pulling me deeper with every touch Your tantalizing curves Spun a web that caught me naive I called myself the Devil's son Found in the presence of God's favorite Angel The bullet that damaged your wings Causing you to fall from Grace High upon that unreachable pedestal you stood Looking down at all those I placed below you What a child I had been Even when you went away Never to return At that space you left in my life I knelt Praying to whatever god may listen To bring you back And the delusion of happiness I felt was real Blinded by a cruel light you'd shown so bright A shrine I had built all this time Following a distorted religion A delicious poison served at too many services No longer will I follow a path with no end The ice you left on my heart has melted Relapsed from the addiction you created Finding happiness without your presence comes easier So as I twiddle my pen With more failures than successes A smile crosses my face For as I walk my new path to my dreams I will fall numerous times But with each rut that brings me to my knees Never again will I be reaching for an absent hand It will instead fall in to the open palms Belonging to those with true beauty and real grace Caring for a broken man That offered pieces of his shattered heart To a hungry crow, calling itself an Angel Encouraged by their hearts filled with everlasting love For they were the spark That lit my own hearts fire Flames rising higher and higher, lighting up this world Lending warmth to all, and those who lent me theirs for too long It is my turn to shine So from your shadow I step In to a brand new world Mine to create Mine to shape For true Love to Live

I am note sure what to title this yet, this is why it will remain [Untitled] until something that feels like it fits comes to mind.
