Angel

He said he's done

More like undone

Came from broken

just to break more things

Found him an angel

Just to break her wings

Love at first sight

Maybe it was just a bug bite

A monster and a fright

Just darkness appearing as light

Lightless and twisted

Digging deep to crush my soul

Picking apart pieces of me

To make sure I'll never feel whole

Nails on a chalkboard

Broken glass across concrete

Running in circles

Pain has the front row seat

Outside looking in always seems better

You can see the overview but not

Every word, not every letter

The tales that you tell

They must be good

No one hears the one about the

Little boy from the hood

No one gets hurt with the

Jagged pieces of your broken heart

No one gets hit with the

Weight of your words like I do

No one knows where you've been

No one knows what you've been through

Ugly faces fill your time

Fill your phone

Just people to talk to

So you won't feel alone

Lied to, so now you lie too

Crushed, so now you demolish

You break off my edges

Then try to cover up with polish

An angel from heaven

Sent to earth to be destroyed

Who knew it would be by a

Devil with beautiful eyes

Trying to fill a void?

She tries to fly away

But he pulls her down

He wants to smile

He wants her frown

His eyes are brown

Hers are green

Shouldn't she be

The one who's mean?

An angel trying to fly

An angel trying to love bad

An angel trying to show him what

he has before it's what he had

Tears fill up this angel's heart

And her eyes too

Tears fill up her soul

She just wanted to love you

But you can't love what's unlovable

You can't fix what wants to stay broken

This angel can't die trying

This angel has had many prayers spoken

Not a prayer in heaven

Not a prayer from this angel

Could ever save him from himself

He claims a clear mind and

Blames everybody else

Unhappy with his reflection

He goes about his days

Misguided early on

Now he's stuck in his ways

His angel is dying inside

His angel can't breathe

His angel can't be perfect

But how could he leave?

Master of smiles and deception

A creative mind full of ideas

He'll never make come true

No motivation, only talking

Never ever follows through

He said he's done

More like undone

Innocence once captivated his mind

He took it and tore it to shreds though

He left for reasons he caused

He left high and he left her low

Came from broken

just to break more things

Found him an angel

Just to break her wings

Master of smiles and deception

A creative mind full of ideas

He'll never make come true

No motivation, only talking

Never ever follows through
