Angel's Lament




The loneliness is what destroys.
The need to stay just paranoid
enough to not be taken by surprise.
The weighing up of alibis: 
are those two actually mates,
or colleagues who corroborate?

As questioning's a constant curse,
the confirmation can be worse:
the loss of those you must cut ties with
when you learn who they got high with,

and the ones who have to die
for what they did when they were high.
