"Cast out, buried in a hole. Struck down, forcing me to fall."
Welcome To Paradise/Stuck With Me
Ark Blitz

Author: Unknown

My horns catch my halo as I sit upon my throne in the underworld. My wings rest upon the arms, the angels spreading all down to the ground while the demons stretch high above the chair. I feel my sharp fangs press against the inside of my bottom lip. Staring out over the horizon. a wasteland I love AND THE PLACE I call home. it’s paradise. This is heaven in everything but name. no matter what it looks like. I abandoned our “Heavenly Father” to be here. they said I could never come back. that I’d never be treated down here as well as I was up there, But I didn’t care. I jumped and fell; falling all the way down. My “elegant” angel wings became secondary to the beautiful wings of demons. I became whole, yet the scars still burn whilst I have this halo and wings, But that’s why today is special. I will finally break free from the past; free of all the pain that came from it. I will embrace the demon that came to me when I jumped. Even though I’ll become a demon, the angels are still no better than me.

As I sink more into my chair, I feel teeth sink into my neck. A voice speaks from them,

“Are you ready hun?”

I brace myself. reassuring her, I comforted,

“Of course, I’ve been waiting long enough for today.”

Her fangs piece the flesh of my neck. as she holds them there my halo begins to disintegrate, and my angel wings slowly lose their feathers. She continues to keep her teeth in my neck until every trace of my angelic past is erased. When finished she comes and lays upon my laps, her eyes gaze into mine longingly. She wraps her arms around my neck as she holds me tight,

“I’m so glad you’re down here with me. that you came down here for me”

I rest my head on her shoulder. tears slowly roll down my face; her warmth comforting me.

All I can do is whisper, “I am too”, my words are shaky and slow. “I love you so much, anywhere with you is paradise.”
