Summer air flows in hot breaths

melts my cold depressed chest

for months

day and night


The heat invited the devil in

he came with demons, snakes, and leeches

furled in through my door


To adhere justice, an angel appeared

lightening the weight of guilt

and soothing my fears


But yesterday's time with my demons cut deep wounds

too many days suffering in one room that even i have trouble returning from without leaving a piece of myself behind

and today in present has become irritating by the thoughts i want to be true

of a less solemn future my angel showed yet as he's spoken it's the same lie i've been living when my love reaches out to me

for then tomorrow may as well be repentant by the fantasies and dreams i gave into belief

as this angel can only do so much against his mischievous partner

with i in the middle of their tension

a red and white war fumes

white smoke plumes and red blood stains


As these tears will flood

because of who i gave my dependence to.
