My Dark Angel

Light has no purpose to me
I'm living here in the dark.
My future from this point
At the very best is stark.

The calling of my Dark Angel
Is intensely beckoning to me.
I fight to ignore its temptations
But its persistence won't let me be.

I'm doing all that I can to ignore
My Dark Angel's every demand.
The struggles I face are taxing
I cannot continue to withstand.

The persistence and temptations
Are proving to be too strong.
They are wearing me down
My defenses will not last long.

I'm growing tired of fighting now
Let my Dark Angel take me away
I feel this Dark Angel may be right
I can no longer find a reason to stay.
