CRUEL ANGEL

1 As I lie here on

My pillows of feather and silk,

Tears of hate bleed from

My cold, dark eyes as I

Think about the time

You kissed my pale, marred flesh

And then left me

Like a dying beast of burden

Who'd lost his use.

A cruel angel you were,

Sent by and equally cruel God

To torment me for my sins,

To offer me salvation

And tear it away from me just as I had

Found my reason for being.

Oh a cruel God indeed to

Have sent such loveliness and perfection,

Knowing I would love her,

Only to talk her from me!

Of all the Hells you

Could have condemned me to,

You sent me to one from which

There is no escape.

No escape…

My own personal Hell

Where no light may enter without

Turning to complete and utter

DARKNESS…
