dear lucifer,
halos crack
and wings fail
and loving someone
with every piece of your soul
gets you nothing.

dear lucifer, 
kin turns on kin
and corruption is easy to find
in the kingdom of heaven
and falling hurts more than anything.

dear lucifer,
forgiveness is hard
and revenge tastes sweet
and darkness doesn’t always mean
you’re lost.

dear lucifer,
wings can keep a man grounded
even when they’re the very things
meant to make him soar.
