Putrid Lullaby/ Angel's wings

by Strange Angel   Feb 11, 2006


The man, so tall and so strong
Stood above my bed
And from pure disgust and hate
Whispered lullabies in my head

He sang to me at night and said
That I did not deserve
Anything I'd ever loved
He had the pain reserved

In the morn the sun was bleak
And cried the blades of light
Haunting thoughts ran through my head
Of all he'd said last night

Slowly as the year passed by
I finally began to see
That no matter what I did
He'd keep on punishing me

It started on the dawn of hope
But induced lost trust craze
And put through so much pain and hurt
We dug my horse his grave

Then as I thought he'd do no more
He broke me deep inside
And gave me a new found toy
To play with as I cried

Still after all the crushing pain
I heard his promised whisper
And as the summer passed in blood
My dog's life began to flicker

And with her death I lost all hope
And pushed myself away
From all the joy and happiness
No more debts to pay

He handed me a mask of wax
Told me to wear it each it day
But once he'd crushed my soul
He began to fade away

Alone I sat in tears of hate
And filled with loneliness
But a flame burned away my disguise
And I breathed in breaths of bliss

For somewhere in the desert plains
I forgot to turn and see
The golden glowing angel
Looking out for me

She took my hand and wiped my tears
And whispered words of hope
She made me wings of happiness
And taught me how to cope

When buds began to rot and die
The sun blistering the land
Through autumn's death and winter's freeze
She held me by the hand

And as I dug the graves and cried
And pain ripped at my soul
She gave me hope and reason too
And now makes my life whole

If angel you had not helped me through
I would have stumbled from the path
You reminded me to why I live
And gave me reasons to laugh

And through a year of burning black
The falling tears of sky
It was you that stopped that evil man
Singing his putrid lullaby.

*Thank you*
