Reluctant Acceptance

Spread your wings, take flight1

Find the light, be mine2

Choose: white or black, life or death3

Either way, you’ll die4

Fury woven with the flames5

Hate me; I deserve it6

Threads of moonlight slip into the maze7

Please don’t weep, my sweet8

Illuminate with your pure aura9

Shattered with my lack desire10

Awaken the fragment of paradise11

Slashed, ripped apart in an instant12

The futility of creation13

Innocence a fragile veil14

Torn away mischievously15

Killed relentlessly, ruthlessly16

Evil always wins, escape while you can17

Threatened with oblivion18

Promises of untruths19

Thrown into ravine20

Drowned in vast oceans21

Met with the Angel of Death22

Take me away; I’m ready23

Welcomed with a warm embrace24

You’ve been tricked, soul, spirit, life25

I bring salvation, I bring the end26

For you, and you alone, I give hope27

See the light, go towards it, reach out28

A firefly, dead at your touch29

Cry, scream, yell. This is HELL!30

Look closely, I’m not the Angel of life31

I’m your worst nightmare, ghoul of your dreams32

The thousand butterflies, they’ll disappear33

They’re not real, we are; they’re dead, we’re alive34

Hold out your hand; accept me for being me35

Sleep; sorrow, grief, pain, betrayal36

You’ll suffer with me; are you willing to?37

I promise to protect you, really and truly38

I bring love, I bring hate;39

I give fire, I give ice40

These are my final gifts to you41

For I am the Angel of Life and Death42
