A Demon by the Hand Take an Angel

Diamonds for her eyes, silk for her hair

She asked, “Why do you stare?”

I wake up, until then not aware

An infinitely small chance to an infinitely large risk, a demon by the hand take an angel, do I dare?

 

When I looked at her, I swore I could see

The best part of my future and everything good in me

But it comes to pass I have to forget what I saw and let it go

Accept that I’m wrong about everything I think I know

 

A demon will forever for an angel be no good

Under the increasing weight of that knowledge, I stood

Until I fell, my knees and back giving out

I pray I am the worst of the demons, I pray no one feels the weight of this loathing, shame, guilt, doubt.

 

Diamonds for her eyes, silk for her hair

She asked, “Why do you stare?”

I wake up, until then not aware

An infinitely small chance to an infinitely large risk, a demon by the hand take an angel, do I dare?

 

It proves worth nothing in the end

As everything on me, she did spend

In return, in ignorance to my evil, only half-heartedly I even tried to be her friend

With her all, she tried to me mend

In response, my twisted mind could only both of us try to bend

 

Angels, in wisdom never allow demons to reflect on you what they could, but will not, be

Instead, their evil, make them see

Demons, in ignorance, never aspire to the angel’s light

See it and fear it instead and retreat to your unforgivable, eternal night

 

Diamonds for her eyes, silk for her hair

She asked, “Why do you stare?”

I wake up, until then not aware

An infinitely small chance to an infinitely large risk, a demon by the hand take an angel, spare ye both and never dare.
