Playing God, I Lost an Angel
I am someone you don't want to meet
Someone you might just pass on the street
Though you don't know what I've done
You don't know, not one of you, none
And I wish you could know, as you pass me by
How I let my best friend die
He was an Angel, the sweetest of all
He worshipped me as God, or pain would befall
I broke his arms, I broke his legs
I tore off his clothes and fucked him into the bed
And through it all, he never complained
Not even in the hospital, where he went for the pain
I didn't care, because he was mine
I could do what I want to him, all of the time.
And he never stopped me, never asked why
The only time I stopped was when he would cry
"Can't I love you, why do you hate me?"
I looked down at him, my disgust easy to see
And I replied, "You don't get it, do you, bitch?
You're mine to destroy, mine to make flinch
And I don't give shit if you love me
I'll never love you, I'm God, you see."
And saw he did, and worship he did
And I just smiled as he did what I bid
Until the day his skin turned gray
And his body started to waste away
"He's dying," the doctors said to me,
But, like a fool, I couldn't see
Because I was God, and I wanted him well
I pretended tragedy could never befell
My slave, my bitch, my slut, my whore
Who soon enough was on Death's door
And when I found out, I couldn't believe
And finally, finally I see
That I am not God, I am not good
I've never been, and never would
Because he was the Lover, the King, the Prince
I was nothing, except his bitch
And now, here it is, my story I tell:
Playing a God, I lost my Angel
