A temptation so sweet

Angels Weep


The simple act
Holds this pain so unrelenting

Yet you must shed the tear




And you close those eyes



“Selfish”




Oh how they cry





Selfish






Oh how you smile















And die.

There's no god. There's no religion. There's only life, what you do with YOUR life, who YOU let affect YOUR life. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to learn to deal with them.

I liked it. It's very simple, but it says a lot. Good job. Keep writing.
