Asking Alexandria
Poem about someone I met under difficult circumstances (in a mental institution)

You say you are the devil
Is she in your eyes?
Cold like black ice
Starless skies
why did you wound yourself with all those scars
Did you make a third of the stars fall from the sky
I want to help you but they take you away
this is a prison not a hospital so you say
you said you possess people, anyone you want
I am stuck with a voice inside my head
is it yours?
I once wanted to escape to heaven
through a back door
if Love is key why canβt I free you from the curse
Love is chains which bind me, grind me down
I want to ask you if I could be your friend but I am a clown
I am the hound which guards your gates
I am Cerberus one head in the past
One in the present who waits
One in who looks to the future and doesnβt hesitate
devil woman I want you to free
but Love is only real love if we both can free?
