City of Angels

Bright lights above, dark shadows below, 
A city of secrets that few ever know. 
It shimmers with promise, it calls with grace, 
Yet angels here wear a devil’s face. 

Dreams are traded, and hopes are sold, 
Where streets are paved with lies and gold. 
A paradise shining with star-dusted lies, 
Yet shadows linger beneath its skies. 

Wings clipped and broken, halos lost, 
A city of angels knows the cost. 
A masquerade of bright façades, 
A hollow heaven where truth defrauds. 

Beneath the glamour, a price is paid, 
In whispered deals and debts delayed. 
A city of angels in tattered light, 
Where halos fade in the dead of night.
