Cruel Angel

Oh angel I’ve discovered

Silver tongued

But what a cruel angel

To tell me things I

Want to hear

But will I ever live up

To those expectations?

Cruel angel

Have you fallen

As I have?

Do you know the treachery

Of self?

Do you know the failure in desire?

Please speak softly now

I cannot bare the clattering

For my attention

Just let me rest for a moment

Before your demands echo through me

Sweet cruel angel

Cause and cure

Of my suffering

Will you be my undoing?

Time’s Orphan

What have I become?

What have we all become?

Nothing but time’s orphan

We take every chance to hesitate

So we stay the same

The same

Give me a chance

Better yet

Let me take it

Let me take that kiss

And if I fail I know

I’ll survive

Or let me die inside

Only again to see the light again

We don’t have to remain

Let us become

Let us know

All the secrets

Let us never keep them

Let us wake up

And realize our worth is valuable

Our lives are worth the risk

Besides what do you have to lose

But stagnance

Longing

Pain

Don’t take your time

It’s too easy to lose

Wake up and breathe

Time’s orphan
