you were an angel to me
and a devil to the world
twisting my words into nonsense
i fell into you anyway
silent, hardened
enamored with your peace
and angry at what led to mine
i never thought you’d see me through
my matchbox anger
coming too close to your flames
my bleary eyes
drunk and unstable
i never use the words
silence
we were so broken
but I picked up my shattered soul
off the ground
you let me, nothing was better
innocence, wrapped in hate
sickened souls spreading denial
years of denial
bleak winter mornings
torched hot summer days
drowning in each other
you took the last life boat
said i can swim
i ran to you still
that last time you were around
your eyes were dark
proud of the work you made
you whispered in my ear
i could not feel, the water was cold
i was left knowing
you were an angel to the world
and the devil to me
