Sinners & saints

I breathe in the fragrant scent

A fading memory of childhood dreams.

I smile as the devil chuckles

And the angels start to break and scream

 

Breaking glass invades my veins

I feel nothing but soft release.

A battle between sinners and saints

I am the prey, I am the feast.

 

Surrendering to the sirens’ song,

I am pulled back by the clang of gates.

Confusion embedded in my soul

“Come back to us, it is not too late!”

 

Torn apart, beyond destroyed,

I weep into the color gray.

An empty soul, I survive

After my death of yesterday.

 

I feel no pain, I remain numb

Crucified by two extremes.

Minutes lost as I bleed

Into the void that is my dreams.

 

Innocence robbed so long ago

A child thrown into deadly sin.

Devils rejoice, angels pity

In the end who’s going to win?
