"I'll be selfish for once"

an angel in disguise,
you're what i really want
skin golden like a crown
I hope I do not drown

your eyes as deep as blue,
the color of bamboo
your hair as smooth as silk
and your voice as warm as milk.

and I'm a devil in disguise,
I'm what you all despise
my soul as dark as coal
do you still want me as a whole?

my eyes as dead as the night
aren't you scared that I might bite? wherever I go the blight follows
I'm scared I might swallow you whole

and yet you're still here with me,
will you still be there if I ever flee?
leave you here alone
with all the debris

will you still love me
when I'm like this?
