Reality of Sarah
i look for the crestfallen demon
in limbo above wastelands face
to take his heart and drink its poison
to kill the voiceless angel in broken grace,
she torments me with her severed whispers
to mend her tattered wings with old lies
for my beautiful rose broke her with endless anger
seeing only pseudo truth in her vacant eyes.
this angel i only see through the cracks,
the cracks in reflections on the wall
and she has a fake smile carved in her face
with the fruit of vanity that'll bring the fall,
but how can she fall farther than the bottom?
the depths of a bottle where demons are born
molded from fallen angels, but it's her choice of identity
from the empty glasses that left her torn.
now i see the demon hanging above
in limbo holding chains of shadows,
and I'm the servant that found him
and he'll hang me in the gallows
to let the reaper take my soul
like the forest and the rose
and i'll die by thoughts of suicide
but that's not the path i chose.
i didn't choose a life of pain and reform
for nothing but a happy absence
from the bottles bottom where i reside
blind from evanescence,
watching the angel dissipate in the mirror
as the demon floats down and dies
merging into the heart stitched in my chest
and the ashes leave my eyes.
my eyes are cleansed and i see the truth
the angel's voice was not hers but mine,
for i was my own tormentor wrapped in illusion
tearing my sanity by becoming blind;
and the demon was not my master
confining me to the bottom of a bottle,
for these chains where my own
and the key was inside me within a cradle.
