The Haze and Mist
So I decided to make it a series; completely inspired by Erato's Abode, by WingsOfMorphius. I command you all to read it! Hers are better.
"Justified"
I am a criminal tonight,
an innocent by day.
The deadliest weapon in my hand,
yet it can go away
Blinded to the worst of sins
I cannot myself see;
Self-justified within these lies
I still believe in me
I know within that I am right;
protecting, defending below.
To hurt my enemy is but a debt
to keep this in control
In my mind I am an angel,
guardian of the human plane
atainst the demons and the ghosts,
The evil, the insane
But then he tells me, 'You're mistakes,
they keep you from the light!
Can you not see your cause
isn't worth this fight?'
I do not see the puppet strings
that raise my arm to him,
nor care that the trigger pulled
will bring to us both our ends.
