Dressed in white
Wings held high
I am the angel of purity
But I hold a devil inside
Dressed in red
Horns bowed down
I am the devil of lust
But I hold an angel outside
None know my thoughts
None can see my reflection
None see the red, the taint
None but the woman, my devil inside
I hear her want, her desire
I see the look inside the mirror
I see the white, the pure
I know the girl, the angel outside
We are one, she and I
Two sides to a flipping coin
Whichever side lands face up
The other will be in darkness
We are the same, me and her
The girl, what I was
The devil, what I am
But neither will land in the light
We know each other
She and I, me and her
We hold each other
The girl, the woman
We love each other
The angel, the devil
So inside I hold a devil
And outside I hold an angel
But together we hold truth
Together we hold love

Good job!! Love the last stanza:
So inside I hold a devil
And outside I hold an angel
But together we hold truth
Together we hold love
Thanks for entering and good luck

i like the idea of this one, the concept. there's always two sides to a coin. two waring factions inside us. but i think you meant angel, not angle. but no big deal.
