They will return

Bright Demon 2004 (Leiden)

Rhymed
Today I looked inside me
What's hidden deep within
It wasn't there for very long
Short, it must've been

For yesterday, I saw an angel
Today, a different face
The angel must have fled away
A demon took his place

But I'm not scared, for what's there now
Maybe, it's just his turn
And I am sure, another day
My angel will return
