A/N: I've recently been exposed to the wonderful works of s i l v e r a u r o r a and her friends and subsequently developed a bit of an attachment to this newfangled FreeVerse shenanigans of which they're fond. It's kind of fun, and pretty to look at, and while I'm quite certain that I have no skill with it (i.e., lack of coherency, lack of wholly developed concept, excess italics/bold/underline/spacing), I enjoyed myself.

Also, I can't figure out whether I'm recognising the title sentence from someone else's stuff, or because it comes from the depths of my own mind. If it is the former, I apologise.


"boy, lucifer's an angel too"
I deal with temptation
by yielding to it
/Mark Twain/

- LouisPansy -


she calls you angel (makes you fly)
&&
then breaks your
[wings]
heart of g l a s s

but pickup the pieces
(boy, Lucifer's an a n g e l too!)
Paint your mask
&& lock them out

-:-

Hark! What's that? Hear the whispers
- I c e P r i n c e -
(callousheartlesscruel)
&& nobody knows
the truth isn't
all its c r a c k e d up to be

but alone isn't a happy place to be(either)
so you play with pretty girls
(prettylittletoys)
and for a minute lonely is
g
o
n
e
except a minute (sixtyseconds)
yeah, a minute never lasts
&& it's y o u
alone
(again)

her name's a f l o w e r
&& she's lost
(in her thoughts
unlike the heartbreaker)
when your paths are /somehow/
|tangled|

she's a thousand fiery words
all at once (while you have n o n e)
&& there's something
(in her eyes) in her voice
that makes you
t h i n k
maybemaybemaybe
this world isn't (entirely) against you.

-:-

fire&ice shouldn't work
but she melts the pieces of your shattered heart
(&& liquids can be set
in any shape you want)
so Lucifer
- forgotten wings unfurl'd -
flies again

yeah, r e m e m b e r, kid

you'll never be
plain a n g e l, no
- boy, you're so much more -


End.
