Angel of Darkness

I became friends with the darkness The sun has become a myth The Rain was only a comforting sound And how I missed the snow The walls were covered in tally marks Counting the days But seems time has escaped me And the monsters in my head were only getting louder I used to be afraid of the dark But now I felt safe in it Nobody came to my prison in the dark I guess they can sleep peacefully at night I don’t know how demons live in peace When they break the halos and tear the wings off angels My mom used to say I was an angel Who was capable of healing others My father said I was a monster Who was capable of destroying everything in its path I suppose my father was right And my mother will be heartbroken Because angels don’t kill and monsters do I remember the darkness my closest friend The rain almost burnt as it hit my skin Red surrounds me and I smile at the sky Freedom from hell at last But was it worth the cost of heavens grace I had crashed my door down They were not expecting the monster that greeted them Breaking my chains Releasing all the rage within A blood bath I won’t forget Six souls sent to the pits of hell By me the once pure angel Now fallen from grace with an unquenchable taste For vengeance against the demons who broke her As I exhaled the smoke deep within my lungs Burning tobacco was the only thing holding my soul to my body I watched as they counted the bodies of my friends Sixteen girls who were Jane Does to the men in uniforms But were angels whom I remembered each one of their names And still do to this day As I closed my eyes to greet the darkness Death knocking on my door like a close friend I let my tears finally fall as I think of the things I’ve lost As I think of the things I missed But most of all as I let out a staggered breath An aching feeling swallows my being As I think of my dear precious snow I had become friends with the darkness That greeted me so kindly as I felt the world slip past me The sun had returned to celebrate my escape The rain was now a warm hug comforting my sorrow But snow was an angel Who’s innocence I could only hope was still intact
