An Angel's Glass Mask
Everything seems to haven fallen in place
with it comes a confusing but subtle grace
She was an angel wearing a mask
with a soul clear as glass
In a world lost to hate, where love seems late
we marvel at it's gifts, over look life and often forget
It's never about tomorrow, the misery or sorrow
but rather the now and present
A life fulfilled with no resentment
Darkness clouds the ego, depression will soon show
doubt lingers in the mind, then consumes the time
There was an angel wearing a mask
her soul was clear as glass
she held no hate, or fear as she whispered into my ear
'you are lost within that dark forest,
wolves on the hunt, no where to rest'
I've heard the songs sung by the angels
I've heard the stories of forgotten fables
and I have even lived in some form of poverty
but I had forgotten, what I now see
'The whispers of an angel before me'
"Will I ever obtain my redemption,
followed my heart, lead me to temptation
So much pain has passed through this heart of mine
broken and bruised, I'm surprised I am still alive
There must be an angel watching over me
many times I should be dead, yet I still breath
traveling a lonely desert road
with open arms, it's the life I had chose"
I've pleaded for the sorrow to end, a scar I must bare
looking into your eyes, I'm lost within your stare
a tortured soul, trapped within desolation
a broken man, fighting for salvation.
