ONE MORE MINUTE

One more day

one more step

down the hall it slowly crept

In my ear

on my mind

all the walls I could've climbed

I must resist

I must restrain

the longing nagging at my brain

Just one more hour

one more minute

I won't let the demons win it.

He never cared about me.

but i cared about him

Hurt him the way he hurt me.

how could i hurt someone i love?

He deserves to feel pain and guilt.

he doesn't deserve that. no one does

Make him stay.

let him go

Cannibal

My brain is a cannibal

It gnaws at itself

Hungry to destroy me

Sated by its own decay.

Them

They told me to kill him

They told me to slash at him

They told me to save him

They told me to heal his wounds

They told me to break out

They told me to hurt everyone

They told me to stay put

They told me to forgive everyone

They told me to end this suffering

They told me to kill myself

They told me to end this war

They told me to save myself

Eternally torn between the two

I never know what to do.

They told me to end this story

They told me to say this is all a lie

They told me to continue my pain

They told me to tell the truth

In the end, both are the same

One outright, one fraught with lies.

My Angel and My Demons

The demons never leave

Their angry fire will never cease

And as they scream their lies

All else is lost to time

Their war rages on

The battlefield takes a toll

But land not a hit

Does any demon on another

And when hope is lost

And everything's aflame

The havoc halts as a new light shines

An angel beaming down

To raise the Earth anew

From her voice the demons run

From her embrace the ground heals

And as her eyes fall upon

The few living things

Their fear abates

And life begins again
