Monster In An Angel’s Robes
I hold you in my steady arms,
I pull you ever closer,
The caress of your hands in mine
Vows that I'll be your bolster,
Dusk's chill fingers brush against us,
A silent song of closure,
My coat finds its way around you,
Falling across your shoulders,
So why do I feel so alone?
You've now become my captor,
I must have looked like such a woos
To think you'd follow after,
The moon ceases to look amused,
His eyes shine bright with laughter,
'Cause how could I have fallen hard
For one who's just an actor?
A monster in an angel's robes,
Tell me, were you ever real?
Or were you just a distraction
To keep me occupied with zeal?
I'm afraid of the memories
Of what you made me feel,
I didn't think you were a thief,
But my heart was yours to steal,
