Tainted Angel

You call me an angel sent down to thee

I've secretly hated everyone... even me

My heart is cold my wings tainted

My life is filled with lies, painted

With a halo stained with hate

and wings of lust, perhaps it's fate?

Yet here you stand with loving eyes

Not fully seeing behind all lies

My heart is cold, my wings tainted

My lies are what made my world painted

I have no room for you

You know it's true

yet you stand there in a daze

as I stand before you with eyes a blaze

My wings are black with tips dyed red

This darkness you have long since dread

Yet even still you touched my soul

And now I see I am not yet whole

A piece is missing, long since gone

I fall to my knees and weep till dawn

These tears have not been shed for some time

Not since my etching pain was at it's prime

My heart was cold, wings tainted

Less lies are making my world painted

You wipe away my tear and smile down

I look up at you and don't make a sound

You melted my heart and saved my soul

And now I feel that I'm more whole

These wounds will never heal

I shall forever keep my life real

All because of some one who believed

now I can live my life relieved
