My Demon, My Angel
My demon, my angel,
You fill my head with
Thoughts I try to leave behind.
You make my chest
Contract and expand,
Giving and taking each breath.
My demon, my angel,
You fill my heart with
Pain and so much love.
You twist my brain
In squares and triangles,
Caressing and destroying my mind.
My demon, my angel,
My lovely cruel creature,
Filled with sugar and venom.
You crush my heart
And stitch it back up,
Leaving me weeping and radiant.
My demon, my angel,
I will not walk this earth without you,
But I will not see heaven with you.
In our own beautiful hell we will live,
Eternally held in an
Agonizing embrace.
