we all have our good sides
we all have a dark side
but this is about the soul
that is stuck in between
the question...
Is, what's my life?
the good? the bad?
or am i the soul
stuck in a world
that doesn't exist
is my angel made up?
did i create a soul mate?
as my life goes
my demon prevails
my soul is damned
in the garden of eden
my light is in my shadow
the shadow lives among me
the demon,
holds the knife of life
thrusting it to my throat
it's my soul that prevents this
without the angel
i have no one
i am a lost soul
fighting a war
within myself
now the question is,
"who am i in this fight?"
