Monster In An Angel’s Robes

I hold you in my steady arms,

I pull you ever closer,

The caress of your hands in mine

Vows that I'll be your bolster,

Dusk's chill fingers brush against us,

A silent song of closure,

My coat finds its way around you,

Falling across your shoulders,

So why do I feel so alone?

You've now become my captor,

I must have looked like such a woos

To think you'd follow after,

The moon ceases to look amused,

His eyes shine bright with laughter,

'Cause how could I have fallen hard

For one who's just an actor?

A monster in an angel's robes,

Tell me, were you ever real?

Or were you just a distraction

To keep me occupied with zeal?

I'm afraid of the memories

Of what you made me feel,

I didn't think you were a thief,

But my heart was yours to steal,
