Sacrilegious Angel

Sacrilegious Angel

Sacrilegious Angel stands sentry at the doorway to the bar
Consuming and consumed
Beauty overshadowed by madness

Dancing to the beat of a different drum
She could have been a better mum
But time has her in its raptorous clutches
Devouring her without mercy

Memories attack her without warning
Swooping and scratching at her brain
Again and again and again

She reaches for relief at the bottom of a bottle
But forgiveness is not on the wine list
Only self flagellation and resignation

Sacrilegious Angel 
Wanders home alone
Plays music to drown her sorrows
And dreams of a brighter tomorrow

Consuming and consumed
Overshadowed by sadness
Haunted by her weakness
Hunted for her meekness

Sacrilegious Angel 
The rooks are home to roost
Time has caught you out
Too late to scream and shout.
