Alter Ego Character Profiles

I promise myself a tomorrow
that my shadow won't steal away
and the strength to always fly over
the obstacles tossed in my way
like the miracle-workers before me
I stand on the glassy black lake
And think of the things that I'll never
Allow my own darknessto take

Angel-Mine
Angel in the morning light
I hate to see you weep
As if every good you've ever done
Can't somehow give you peace
I think, somehow, you cannot see
The grace that you possess
Or else you'd fall to shining dreams
And find your rightful rest
Angel, if you listen close
I'll tell you what you long to hear:
What's bad can't be forgotten
What's good can't be replaced
What's right can't be regretted
What's wrong can't be released
So now, at last, can you see?
Can you find the faith with which to believe?
Forgiven, set free, and gifted a chance
Not remade or in hiding, but back in the dance
Angel, your story is totally clear
And your heart and soul are pure
Necessity is the only evil here
One forgiven, because it's everything real
And you'll heal again with love and time
So stop this crying, angel-mine

Dark Mother, The Destroyer
Within each heart there is a mirror
Luminescent in the glow
Of all our hopes and dreams and wonders
That reflects all that we know

Within each mirror there's a vision
Darker than the endless night
Of all the nightmares that await us
When, at last, we lose the light

Within each vision there is bleakness
Colder than despair can be
That cracks the shields around our souls
And lets dark death count every beat

Within that bleakness there is nothing
That we can hold to, though we must
And when we falter, losing balance
We fall from high for lack of trust

Within each heart there is a goddess
That devours our souls at last
To end both pain and joy forever
And release us from our past

Within the goddess is true mercy
Such a rarity in this place
And she will keep us when time closes
In her all-embracing grace

Untitled
The light of the new moon fades
As a new light awakens
The two lovers are shown
With sweet embraces
One is from the world above
The other from the land
The two worlds are far apart
and their love,they would never understand
The two worlds are at constant war
While these lovers sneak away
One fights for peace
While the other stays at their side
Hoping(that someday)peace will remain
Till then their love will keep them strong
As they live their secret lives
As the two who tried to keep the peace between the earth, the water and the sky

Soul Suicide
Like two wicks together burning
        (if only to burn each other out)
We stand linked, strongly shining
        (though the light is never enough to see by)
Proud, tall, flickering in the winds
        (winds of time, they're running out)
Two souls entwined in one.
        (feeding on each other, soul suicide)
We are one in mind and heart
        (one must die, or both will crash)
We are friends, like sisters
        (jealousy grown infected, toxic)
each knows the other's heart
        (if nothing is said, no lie is spoken)
We can talk about everything -
        (If our words don't say anything real.)
We are friends, like sisters
        (secretly hating, desperately clinging)
And we will always be together
        (bound by need and desperation)
Forever
        (until one of us dies)

-Ki
