Light Bringer, Rising

An angel born of grace, Wings, a halo-a bright light Stings. A fall- crash- I’m born again. Burned again. Different skin New air, new hair, new aura. Same voice, exact words “Trust me,” as I stab you in your spine. My voice cracks, skips Curved and edged My sheathed tongue cuts me- The roof of my mouth, my teeth Sharpen the double edged sword that I’m ready to release-too ready- Too close to the edge help me Im unsteady-good-being good- It feels so good being Bad choices rude ricochets across My mouth and kills People show up to crime scene lips-murder Weapon kiss Caution tape painted red- Suspect in a cage-white steel teeth Holding my sharpened mouth hostage Only steel sharpens Steal my words from me lock them up. Clamp my jaw lock the cage Pull away the reddened Lips and smile the Devilish smile
