lucifer.

he's everywhere.
       unseen to the naive eye.
       talked of by worried mouths.

beautiful creature, fallen angel
no myth.

he's real.

we are broken and we are tainted. we all have our hypocritical moments. our moments where we should regret what we think, what we do, and what we feel, but we regret too late. we regret once the work has already been done. the tears have already been shed and the pain has been felt. we cause hurt and we destroy.

praise. it's not constant. there is redemption because there is remorse.
we are alive, we have hearts, and we feel.
we feel for others. we love.

but we are not alone.

amongst the "we" there is "he"
he who feels nothing.
he who hides in plain sight.
he's everywhere.
seeming to be Chaucer's lily to the naive eye.

beautiful.
alive.
attractive.
wanted.

the shining one.
the morning star.
the bringer of light.

his beauty blinds us.
the light is unseen.

he's corrupt and content.
       silently destructive and bitterly murderous.

it's true though.
the light does come.

one day.

today i truly felt that the devil walks among us. there are some people that say that they have good intentions, and really they may be honest. they are being true. the thing is, their views are so skewed that they lack love. they destroy and they manipulate. they torture and haunt. they ruin.

i wish i didn't feel like this. i wish it didn't seem like some people have no heart. i truly wish.

i AM thankful though.
once you deal with the heartless, you can see the beauty of the kind-hearted and loving people so much more than before. you can see how you, yourself can love more. and you can became stronger.

that is what I've learned in this.
