Love Poem: My World

My World

I am an Angel and a Demon, there is nothing in between
I am your ageing shades of reason; just show me what I mean
When I hold my breath I’m in a natural high
If I hold it for too long the Angel starts to cry
The Demon takes a hold and I can only fly
If you hold me down, I’ll show you how you die

I’m a liar in denial; I will take it to my grave
If the truth will give me style, my path begins to pave
But even if I crawl away
Even if I hide away
Even when I feel okay
I know it’s here that I will stay

I’ve heard that once you realise, you’re half way there
But it’s half way that I stand, confused beyond my care
With the Angel and the Demon beside me as I stare
Their battleground is worn, but now they’ve learnt to share

Chivalry comes from love and love is in our minds
The ugly must repent whilst beauty is too blind
Selfishness breeds lust and lust is all I find
But this is in my mind
Religion held us back since when it lost to hate
By being afraid to die, you throw away the wait
Forget all time, accept your fate
But this is in my mind, this is in my eyes
