When You Fell from Heaven

Yes, yes, laugh away,

you stupid little harpies in disguise.

For I know the truth of you,

and your golden halos can’t fool my eyes.

Your simpering laughs,

your pathetic quips constantly grate against me.

No, I didn’t leave the heat on.

Yes, it hurt when I fell from Heaven.

You’d think messengers of the Almighty

would find new material after a few centuries.

Oh, the irony.

That of the two of us, you’re the bullies.

And you don’t even know it,

Believing your wings shield you from scrutiny.

Demon I may be,

But ignorant I have never claimed.

You made your decision, I made mine.

You see the world in black and white.

I believe in grey, but the Almighty

doesn’t agree, therefore I'm the one shamed.

Evil is evil

Even evil done in self-defense.

The girl had no choice

and when I helped, you gave me this sentence.

It still hurts, you know.

Where you, once my friends, ripped my wings from me.

But down here, at least no one lies.

There are no false saviors, no blind loyalty.

And honestly, compared to that,

this is where I’d rather be.
