It takes an angel

Nothing less will do.

It takes an angel

To mend wounds

Such as mine.

 

But I never believed in those.

 

I believed in evil,

And it came to me

As if called by name.

 

And I knew it well.

 

Better the devil you know.

I knew a few of those.

One leading to the next.

 

Until my heart and soul

Cried out for salvation.

 

When my heart cried,

My lungs collapsed

And the one I am now

Was born from the ash.

Many a good thing grow from the ashes.
