POEM STARTER
"Love is the lie that keeps us alive."
Use this as the first or last line of a poem in any style.
I’d Be Your Demon, I’d Be Your Angel
[inspired by Invisible Poetry’s poem: “Songs Of Damnation.” Mainly based on the last two lines, because this kind of spirals into the opposite of what Invisible’s poem was about.]
—————————————————————
I told myself I’d be your demon,
if you were to call yourself hell.
And if you decided to be heaven,
I’d choose to be your angel as well.
If I were to be your family waiting for you,
I only hope you’d be my loving home.
Because no matter what, I’ll be by your side,
I just hope you won’t leave me alone.
No matter what, I’d be your angel,
your waiting family, your demon.
All I ever asked of you was to be my home,
my heaven or hell, instead of leaving.
I would have been your best friend,
as well as your demon and angel.
All you had to do was be there,
and keep my life from fading dull.
I would have been your angel or demon,
no matter, I just wanted you by my side.
Those doors were the last thing I saw,
because love was the only reason I was alive.
And it was a dirty, nasty, _filthy_ lie.
