Spending all my time just waiting
Hoping for a second chance
Looking for a way out of here
And salvage what self respect I have
It's getting harder to admit it
But I need to get away
Find some peace and sweet release
As you still seep into my veins
I have reached total exhaustion
There is nowhere else to go
I'm slowly driven to my knees
I need some peace tonight
But not back into your open arms
Or in your opal eyes of fire
My heart is just a blackened coal
Left over from your desire
I must escape this hotel room
And salvage what's left of me
You are a demon in angel form
And I'm damned for all eternity
I'm tired of walking on the line
Between the night and dawn
There's fiends and martyrs at my back
With a threat of the coming storm
You keep on adding to this lie
That best describes just who we are
It doesn't really matter anymore
Because I'm now wounded by the scars
So I'm trying one more last escape
It might be the final straw
This madness is a fatal drug
It's sadness drives me to my knees
But not back into your open arms
Or in your opal eyes of fire
My heart is just a blackened coal
Left over from your hot desire
I must escape this hotel room
And salvage what's left of me
You are a demon in angel form
And I'm damned for all eternity...

i like this. nice theme/idea very well put to words and very well typed. though i would think it might help if you used a bit more grammer in your poetry. like i think you need to mark where a breath should be taken with a period and such. it help enphasizes the poem i think and also helps with seperating topics within the poem. once again i love your idea behind the poem
