MY DEMON, MY ANGEL - Rowan Aberyswyth

One is an angel made only of light
Of romance & magic
Of strength & of life.
He radiates confidence
He makes me feel free
He quickens my heart & allows me to be.
He is tender & loving
Kind & sweet
He values my presence & wants only to please.
He makes my heart flutter
He makes my soul soar
He gives my life meaning
& leaves me longing for more.

The other is maddening - a demon or beast
Who tears at my heart
& ignores my pleas
For concern & affection
For romance, for dreams;
He's inattentive & quiet
With a mind I can't read.
When I need him,
He's already beyond my reach
& my mind is as locked to him
As his is to me.
He rips me to shreds
Leaves me crying & meek
Tears apart my independence
& makes me feel weak.

Two men I love,
Despite all my pains
For the one & the other
Are one & the same.
