The Awakening

April 22, 2012

When the morning spring light falls,
Silently blooming across the room,
And you open your dusty eyelids
Break from your warm cocoon
See that there is a new life upon you
That what is past was never life
That what you felt was never true

I’ll be your fallen angel,
With an electric twinkle in my eye,
A sad smile on my face
That makes you want to die.
I’ll take you where you’ve never been,
I can be innocent
But I know you prefer sin.

I’m a doll sent from heaven,
But bound for hell
I’ve gotta make life interesting.
Make a story that’s worth to tell
I like the feeling before I fall
I like to overcome fear
Watch the shadows climb my walls
I’m not afraid of what’s under my bed,
I don’t mind the monsters in my closet,
Or the voices in my head.
This dark and sizzling life
It enchants me beyond belief
Like a blooming thorned rose
The turning of a new leaf.

The blooming of a new darker life, perhaps the realization that the ideal world of a child is over and an adult life has begun for better or for worse.
