Fallen Angels

you strut around 

not a care in the world

not seeing the destruction left at your feet

you tread over corpses

slain at your doing

but you don't even glance down 

you invited me in 

telling me things you've never told others 

sucking me into your black hole

your black hole of abandonment 

of despair

of lies 

you had me wrapped around your finger 

you commanded me to do your murders

I fell under the pressure 

I fell to your will

I was forced,

forced to kill 

to maim 

even to love 

you wiped the blood from your victims onto my hands

I didn't resist

I was foolishly content

no longer 

no longer will I serve you unconditionally 

you were tearing me apart with your bare hands 

but I was too blind to see 

too blind to see the malice in your eyes

I will not let you break me any longer

the fire you spit out 

with every word you speak 

will never see the light of day again

realize what you do, I scream 

look at your feet, look at the bodies, I cry 

you lift your head higher 

I'm leaving you

you're all alone now, I exclaim

you march on

nothing I say will sway you; I crumble 

all the dead you leave behind 

have gained one new member 

shattered by your lies

broken by your terror 

the bodies have gained 

one 

more 

comrade

me
