Angels On Your Shoulder
Wandering
With purpose
Right now
This night
Avoiding
The unavoidable
For as long
As I dare
Dodging all the shadows
Lurking in my mind
Decaying, here
In darkness
While trying to find
Some light
Tumbling further
Downward
As I'm seemingly
Standing still
All logic
Is nonsense
All rules
Tossed away
Perhaps this is
Alice's Wonderland
Or just a prision
Of my mind
Right looks
Left
And left is looking
Up
But the bottom
Is all I see
Perhaps, it's just the sky
Turned a lighter shade
Of brown...
But, I try
To open up
My eyes
And see the world
Around me
And all I seem to see
Is you...
I'm drifting
In and out
Of consciousness
Learning how
To truly fall
From grace...
Against my will
I start to cry
Drawn to the Devil
I know it's true
Drawn to the flame
Trusted once
Without due cause
Broke my heart
Not so very long
Ago
So, why
At this moment
Do I miss you
And wish you were here
You and the angels
On your shoulder
And the devil
On your lips
