Predestined Fate

They warned me you were poison,

Draped your name in ash and sin,

Something twisted in your soul,

Wore venom beneath your grin.

But I saw halos in your eyes,

Soft as dusk on broken glass,

A hidden grace beneath the ruin,

Too pure for myths to ever mask.

While they crowned me in white deception,

Called me saint, called me bright,

You traced the rot beneath my halo,

You named the darkness in my light.

You’re an angel in a devil skin,

I’m a devil in an angel skin,

Bound by truths they couldn’t let exist.

Now we’re torn by the unspoken truth.

Close enough to almost break the chain,

Far enough to know we couldn’t win,

Eternally apart is our predestined fate.

We danced inside a broken mirror,

Roaming free on dangerous ground,

Every feelings a quiet fracture,

Every promises slowly frayed.

Your halos dimmed beneath my truth,

My smile died beneath your gaze,

Two souls twisted out of memory,

Drowning in a borrowed haze.

While they crowned me in white deception,

Called me saint, called me bright,

You traced the rot beneath my halo,

You named the darkness in my light.

You’re an angel in a devil skin,

I’m a devil in an angel skin,

Bound by truths they couldn’t let exist.

Now we’re torn by the unspoken truth.

Close enough to almost break the chain,

Far enough to know we couldn’t win,

Eternally apart is our predestined fate.

(Whispered/melancholic/emotional]

If wrong was right…

Would “us” and “our” survive?

Would you be where I can reach?

Would I be where you are now?

Fate fell hard between our hands,

Torn asunder what we became,

Now we’re echoes split in silence,

Calling out but not the same.

You’re an angel in a devil skin,

I’m a devil in an angel skin.

Truth too late to recreate,

Eternally apart is our fate.

You in light you never chose,

I in dark I couldn’t shed.

Two souls drifted on separate heavens,

Cursed to never intertwine.
