Wings on fire
Stunning glass art sitting
Full of poison so inticing, yet a
Deadly mixture of
Devil and God...
Heaven and hell....
Awaiting your choice
Each poison whispers its malice
Its hostile silence contained
Until it is poured past your lips
Its undertone of insanity
So sweet and malicious
Such delicious poison
Seductive in its aftertaste
Addiction so sweet
Eating away at the
Crux of your very being
Destroying you with
Twisted dark love
It's time to pick your poison
Time to gamble your mind and life
Better hope you survive
Better hope you make it out
At least relatively alive
Wings spontaneously combust
The demons have set fire to my
angels once again
Full of poison so inticing, yet a
Deadly mixture of
Devil and God...
Heaven and hell....
Awaiting your choice
Each poison whispers its malice
Its hostile silence contained
Until it is poured past your lips
Its undertone of insanity
So sweet and malicious
Such delicious poison
Seductive in its aftertaste
Addiction so sweet
Eating away at the
Crux of your very being
Destroying you with
Twisted dark love
It's time to pick your poison
Time to gamble your mind and life
Better hope you survive
Better hope you make it out
At least relatively alive
Wings spontaneously combust
The demons have set fire to my
angels once again

This holds a collective of yin, n yang showcasedfluently in a shuttle yet demanding poise of prose.. yeah I'm not making sense but I like this, think its a solid writr

Addiction comes with many options, a choice of poisons and madness. I pick up a spiritual component here, and a sad one. Angels using, and falling from the sky, a wonderful concept if I understand correctly. Wonderful work, Laura.
