How did I fall? With grace and fire.

He said it didn’t hurt but he’s still burning | (r.c.)

the angel of death? He told me he likes sweaters, pulling one of mine over his head with a laugh. We’re on a first name basis by now, We express it in giggles and wistful sighs, Both our names impossible in the other’s mouth, We are children who tell each other nothing but truth, sitting on my broken bed sinking into the mattress, he grows lily of the valley from his closed fist, the sweet scent of spring filling my room, ‘I give and take and give and take,’ Watching as the small flowers wither and decay, I become nauseous with that thought, the ebb and flow leaving me dizzy, ‘I’m the angel of death, but not just the death of life’ he grinned, his teeth made of copper, the reflection hurting my eyes 'you’ve killed enough time, that by now we’re good friends,’

Obscure Angel Memes

[points to anything that isn’t an animal] that’s some good 6th day of creation shit

substituting curse words with words from dead languages

“Good job, Gabriel. “

arguing over which wing is more important to flight

“I can’t believe it’s not the Roman empire!”

God said let there be [anything that wasn’t included in the days of creation]

“Not Babylon again”

dinosaur bones in places they shouldn’t be

“it takes a village to raise the antichrist”

[playing Highway to Hell on a harp}

“Mount Vesuvius was a clerical error”

coming up with creative names for poisonous plants, then giving them to Michael as a new hair product

“Just because Jesus took a 3 day nap doesn’t mean you get one”

“I’ve got the body of a loaf of bread and enough alcohol in my veins to be called Jesus, too”

[anytime something bad happens] at least it’s not leprosy

the weekly game of “Worse Than Judas?”  that involves the angels competing to find the worst human alive

I was once told, Angel is just a pretty word for monster That my thorns, Would price what was good in me with a risk Holding justice in my palm, Would look like a sword to loved ones That love, Would feel like ash and shards of glass in my mouth

I keep remembering I keep remembering. My heart has no pity on me.
