The Flipped Word Aug 2014
The night is mine, it's darkness my own
It doesn't question my moves
It leaves me peacefully alone
For in the day I wonder
For in the day I wander
Aimless,  hopeless and oh so plain
Ah! But the night is magical
Possibilities lurking in every shade
Just me and the world, no pretense
Just me and myself,  finally making sense.
In the daylight I slog, far too uncaring
In the night I'm almost graceful, beautifully daring
So I split the day, divide it into parts
These slots of sunlight,  one for each shard
Of my hidden abilities, my overriden self
To carry into the dark , when I delve in myself
And this is how I set my nights ablaze
I call the darkness my own but still light up the grays

Angel oh angel.
25th day of the 3rd month
The date that you became
My peace, your beauty revealed

But you we're without wings
I swore to carry you high,
A bit closer to heaven.
I weighed your burden with smile.

Angel, oh Angel.
4th day of the 4th month
The date that you broke
My pain, your beauty marred.

By tears, overriden with guilt
You don't love me,
I fell a down, a bit closer to hell.
Heart broken, you're not my burden anymore.

Angel, oh Angel
Angelic was your nature.
Revelling in peace
Without burden.

Angel, oh Angel
Look down upon me,
Your burden has sunk me
Unleashed the greatest demon i know.

Me.
I was quiet for so long,
Holding you up
Was my peace
Your burdens gave me peace.

Now Angel you seek peace
Without me, bearing the weight
Carrying your burdens alone.

You've left your mark
My nature revealed.
As a beast of peace
With the beauty of burdens.

A demon capable of love.
Willing to love freely.
Still condemned to never
Know love in return.

That is me
My greatest Demon.
