veil

veil

i kissed an angel in the dark

swore

i was blessed

where

did you come from

how

did you find me here

crawling through the trenches

lying in the abyss

seeping into the mud

i was kissed

by an angel in the dark

lit my heart on fire

but i

didn’t think i could

burn through your veil

destroy your skin

yet fail

to warm your soul
