Angel of darkness
is hiding in the corner.
Her wings
are shielded by the shadows.
She walks the Earth
to do the Devil’s bidding.
Her sins etched deep
into her skin.
She never wished
for this to happen.
To survive between
dead and alive,
to be called an angel,
but hold evil inside.
Her soul caressed
in Hell’s hands.
The flames flickering
in her eyes.
It’s part of her now,
it’s who she is.
It’s what she’ll
never escape.
How easily she gave
her soul away,
handed it right into
his burning hands.
Just to escape
a life she couldn’t understand
That left her here…

Thank you for entering my contest. It is amazing how willing some are to step blindly into a situation just because they feel nothing can be worse than their's. I love the bittersweet story of how this woman gave up her soul without and real consideration on the consequences. |People need to start thinking aboout the after effects and the reprocusions that occur out of decisions. I've seen many a friend do stupid things beacuse they are sad, and this poem is the perfect reminder that sadness is no excuse for ignorance. We must still weigh out the good and the bad even when it doesnt seem as though something could be worse. I love the last line. Good write and good luck
