Fallen Beauty

they were the beauty itself

they were the love they were the wisdom

the ones with hidden untouchable faces

brightly they shone in timeless glory

you love them

you need them

you are they

they are you

they're your death

but too much they saw too much they knew

all the love and all the wisdom

were desecrated by envy

and their souls were blackened by evil

you love them

you need them

you are they

they are you

they're your death

they were condemned by god

the light burned their once bright eyes

envy burned their wings marred their skin and faces

into the darkness they fell

through scars of mind you let them in

you offered them your flesh you offered them your mind

they made you blind as you let them see through your eyes

they made you naked as you let them dress your skin

in your blindness you feed them

you give them new wings to fly

they make you bleed from your wounds

they live from your blood and theirs poison you

the black angels of mayhem rise from your ashes

through you they enter their black Eden

and yours is hell
