Hey single solitary man
Alone in a fantasy land
Surrounded by make-believe
Watching dreams turn to sand

Giving far too much
You take far too little
Pain of failure trickles in
Makes broken bones brittle

Weary in daylight
Night brings no peace
Immersion in loneliness
Remains the easiest release

Safety in numbers
Yet fear crawls on your skin
The monsters play loudly
You cower to nothing in the din

Early sun ends solace
As it always does and will
Faithful demons still clawing
Clinging selfishly to you still

Hey single solitary man
Alone in a fantasy land
Drowning in reality
Reach out for my hand

Thank you very much!
You know...poetry really makes me hungry.

<wonders what Arkangyl's wings taste like>

A light and fluffy. Might give you a feather ball, though. ;)

Yeugh...sounds disgusting. Anyway...I don't eat fairies. They give me bile.
<belches at the thought of it>
Eurgh.

I'm not a fairy! I'm an Arkangyl. You know, the ones that fly around and fight demons and such! But lately I'm more interested in trolls. Ugh. Nasty things.

<checks mirror> Trolls you say?
<puts bottom lip over top lip, covering moustache>
I haven't seen anything looking like that round here.

Are you a troll? Surely not. Everyone knows Trolls can't form complex sentences!

Nooo...of course I'm not a troll. <scratches side burns>
Possibly mistaken for a troll type creature, but noooo.
Been called lots of things...probably that's the nicest yet...
that is if you're calling me a troll. <smiles sweetly through her scabby lips>

Well that's good. Being a troll is awful. Vile creatures.
<sneers>
What exactly are you then?
