My wings of Black~

Dark angel from my nightmare,
Are you there?

You were so calculated, chaotic in every way.
Stomping around, twisting words everyday.

Wings as black as your heart is cold,
Eyes reflecting the lies you have told.

Spreading your wings once beautiful white.
Lulling me to sleep with your song tonight.

~*~

I am the dark one, the perfect mistake,
In my presence the innocent quake.

I am in the depths of your dreams,
bringing forth these pitiful screams.

Not even hell will let me in.
So many unforgotten sins.

~*~

Dark angel from my dreams,
Sing to me.

Sing to me sweet promises of light.
Watch over my sleeping form tonight.

That familiar sad look on your face,
as you watch me from this secluded place.

Shattered wings and a broken mind.
This poor dark angel who hath fallen behind.

Your tattered wings, ruffled with rage,
needing just to be free from this cage.

~*~

The darkness of my mind keeps calling.
Here I am, forever falling.

I just don't know how to be kind,
when others push me past the line.

Please...tell me what I've done so wrong!
I've been this way for far too long.

I try to cry out but my voice seems strangled.
I'm getting tired of being little perfect angel...

~*~

Dark angel...
Hold me close.

Let me feel the beat of your heart.
Promise me that we'll never part.

Hold me tight and keep me safe.
Please, I don't want you to leave this place.

Your captivating eyes draw me close.
Just hold me tight, and don't let go.

~*~

Everyone needs an angel, but not me.
I'm not the angel you think you see.

Can't you see these wings of black?
All the many things I lack?

You need someone to help you through,
which, I'm afraid, I simply can't do.

I'm imperfect, I'll always be.
A dark fallen angel, I am only me.

~*~

I can hear the distant clatter of wings again.
Are you there?

Now I'm fighting to stay awake.
My eyes grow heavier with each breath I take.

As my eyelids begin to close once more.
I see shadowy wings hover above the floor.

A paralyzed silence in my room tonight.
Green eyes blazing in the dark of night.

~*~

My graceful tones, ring through the night.
I wish, only wish, I knew what was right.

Take my hand, let me be free.
Show me, please, how sweet life can be.

My silky wings, so soft and light,
carry us past our fears tonight.

~*~

Angel, dark angel,
Take me with you.

Let me stay by your side, always near.
Let me know that you'll forever be here.

Alas its hard to find some way to be strong.
I don't want you to tell me if this is wrong.

Lie down tonight, my angel.

Everyone needs an angel, to set them free.
I just didn't know, your angel was me.

Oh angel, dark angel of mine.
