If Angels represent Love, Safety, and Connection, then Devilry is in the Disconnection.

***

my head’s spinnin’ out of control
and i cant take this anymore,

i know we’ve got a future,
but i think it’s better if i go home —

strangled the breath out of the
last person who loved me this much,

i’ll be damned if i’m so impatient
that i can’t give you a month

or a year,
take your time, i’ll be here,

cuttin’ my way through this swamp,
the work is never done —

karma’s flooded all the dry land,
i’m alone on an island,

signal calling with smoke, 
lit with a fire of hope,

SOS sent,
hell bent,

look where all
the time went,

wrote a few lines down,
secluded in the basement,

loaded a silver bullet
in a rusty .22,

gonna off my codependency
in a ritual next full moon —
 
my head’s spinnin’ outta control —
i think it’s better if i just go home tonight —

i’m a freak and you’re the weird kid,
i’ll give you space till i’m dead to

test out this dynamic —

…

meanwhile, in his voicemail:

…i wanted to add
that i wanted to send some 
Ease and Peace, um…

so i’ll see you tomorrow morning?
have a good night…

…

these days i struggle with alone time,
involuntarily pursued it most of my past life —

Marley in Chains showed me 
that part of my heart’s not functioning

when i sit inside, 
can't focus or read
or watch tv 
or get to sleep

cuz there’s no touch comforting
or slowly mesmerizing,

can’t be memorizing
spots in your eyes and

the shapes of
your body —

you’re not the only source of 
Ease and Peace,

but you’re the closest 
i’ve felt recently

to stability,
so take all the time that you need,

you want space?
i’ll board the next flight

to mercury,
single-handedly stop the retrograding —

i’ll never go back
to old rhythms of thinking — 

my head’s spinnin’ outta control,
i think it’s better if i just go home tonight,

i’m a freak and you’re the weird kid,
i’ll give you space till i’m dead to

test out this dynamic —

new direction

alone time

–><–

i’m Hopeful like a lost dog–
if i wander around long enough,

i’ll be greeted with an open hand
and a tender touch.

–><–

the beautiful cover star is Troy

–><–

somewhere between Hope & Lost
i found my Self — 

i’m sure you’re living a great life,
but i’m here in hell,

and Darling, i wish you well—
change ain’t so scary when

you surrender yourself

to all that possibility
and the unknown—

but in the end 
you always find Home—

just never in the first
place that you look for it—

–><–

i’m Hopeful like a lost dog–
if i wander around long enough,

i’ll be greeted with an open hand
and a tender touch.

–><–

it’s sure fun to watch how this goes
topplin’ down like dominoes,

just when you thought you were in control,
you end up on your ass and broke—

and i don’t care about money,
what scares me the most

is what happened to you spiritually—
you’re scared of your own goddamn ghost—

so will you please just listen to me?
screaming my lungs out everyday

‘cuz it gets me closer to God—

how often you feelin’ that way?

–><–

i’m Hopeful like a lost dog–
if i wander around long enough,

i’ll be greeted with an open hand
and a tender touch.

i’m Hopeful like a lost dog–
if i wander around long enough,

i’ll be treated
with a tender touch—

–><–
