The Loss of Angels
-This is fictional-
Call me in again
Tell me to sit down
I didn't do it this time
Tell me not to make a sound.
In a back office
Behind a locked door
At the end of the hallway
I can't take any more.
Outside no one listens
It's better they don't know
Nobody asks me to tell
Or tells me I have to show.
After we began our "sessions"
I've found that I've become
More quick and prone to violence
But otherwise I'm just numb.
I see the world outside
But inside I don't find god
I don't feel angels comforting
And now I don't find it odd.
You tell me that He loves me
You tell me you do too
You tell me lots of things
I just want you to be through.
I wonder if it's everyone
If it's just me then why
Is it part of the plan
That I can't shut my eyes?
