You stare at your ceiling

Eyes burning at four in the morning

You lost the motivation to close them

Long ago

You stare at your clock

Willing the minutes to slow to a crawl

You pray to whoever is listening

For some sign things will change today

You pray for an angel

But someone else hears your call

Somene perfectly handsome

Someone you met late in the winter cold

You ask for acceptance

And your perfect angel offers it

He takes you under his strong

Unbroken wings

He whispers in your ear

Even when he's seemingly thousands of miles away

He walks you through your worries

And talks you through your troubles

He seeems to shine brighter than the sun itself

But he claims his glow is dimmed by your own

He waits patiently to be invited in

Before tearing apart your life

He leaves you alone to cry

Knowing you'll run back to him

He smiles a glittering smile

Then vanishes into his smoke and mirrors

And then You stare at your ceiling

Eyes burning at four in the morning

Because he stole your motivation to close them

Long ago
