Love's Redeeming Turmoil

LOVE'S REDEEMING TURMOIL

An angel sent down to me to make things right
I finally thought I had escaped this awful plight
But then one day my angel disappeared from my sight
And I was left in this dark with no warming light

The cold crept into my body, my mind, my heart
I thought maybe I had done something to tear us apart
Looking back to when I had succumb to Cupid’s dart
And feeling the sinking of my soul begin to start

Twisted and mangled by the perverse angel of despair
I tried to gasp a breath but only got a stale air
An atmosphere of corroded hearts and neglected care
Now I just sit here and rot in my darkened lair

Only too happy to have become accustomed to hate
And finally having had accepted my lonely fate
There appeared before me that holiest angel’s bait
I looked at it dangling there, but was it too late?

Everything around me blurred and penetrated my aching mind
I thought the sudden radiance would make me blind
My every fiber had believed my coffin to already be lined
But now some ill salvation wanted this hell resigned

My entire entity was torn between the virtue and the sin
I thought it had only been divine lust mocking a win
Faking a victory over the damnation above my head of tin
No heart inside, I ripped it out ages past from within

But a promise was made by that angel long ago
That I’d never be alone or any need I’d know
So things have come to my eyes and it all begins to slow
Reduce down into one question—could I give up this woe?
