This is something that I wrote for my year-end project from my creative writing class. We had to pick a style that we wanted to write it (poetry, short story, screenplay, etc.) and I decided to write lyrics. This is one of them.

It's hard to describe exactly what inspired me to write this. It's basically about liking someone who seems too good to be true. You say to yourself "there must be something wrong with this person, but I just can't figure out what it is." My first draft of this actually had almost that exact line in it, but I decided that it was too literal, so I changed it.

In any case, enjoy!

"Angel on the Edge" by MoonlightShadow (Becky)

He’s like an angel
pure of heart and full of grace
but what else is there
beyond his face?
I sense something else
just beyond what I can see
something beautiful,
something deadly

Fallen angel, rebel spirit:
angel on the edge.
Spare me a moment
to save me from myself

I was flying high
above the clouds in my eyes
until we collided
in the sky.
Will I fall?
Or will he reach out a hand,
or will he simply watch
as I crash land?

Fallen angel, rebel spirit:
angel on the edge.
Spare me a moment
to save me from myself

I’ve woken from my nightmare
of life without a sound
It’s too late I’ve already drowned
angels couldn’t save me now

Fallen angel, rebel spirit:
angel on the edge.
Spare me a moment
to save me from myself

There are still a few lines in this that I'm not 100% happy with, but it's ok for now. Any comments would be most welcome.
