Ars Moriendi

[9] novem

Once we saw with children's eyes

heard the sweet in lullabies

angels with iridescent wings

dined in Eden,we were kings

but in a blink, in a wink

fallen from grace, wings forsaken

out of paradise we were taken

turned our back on the light

chose to dwell on endless night

we demons were beautiful once

chose to fall, took a chance

to live as if we're dead

we chose to be monsters instead

and for what, you may ask in flare

hands tightly clutching your hair

for this monstrous love, I would reply

we became monsters, you and I.
