Honest to a fault,
and loyal that's the truth.
I'm a battle-hardened warrior,
The scars I have are proof.
I've given second chances,
To many, I shouldn't have.
And cried for too many nights,
I left my heart in the wrong hands.
Walls were built around me,
Forged a shelter from others' lies.
Forever those walls will guard me,
Those lies have made me wise.
For I was once an angel,
That was no disguise.
But they then created a demon,
That angelic side had to die.
That I may protect my honour,
That I may still speak my truth.
For if I remained such an angel,
I would have always been there for you.
At first, I was angry and broken,
Not understanding how you did this to me.
But thankful I realize the truth now,
I was given a gift and set free.
But sadly, you released the demon,
To an unknowing and innocent world.
For you destroyed that sweet angel,
By repeatedly breaking that girl.
If I'm honest then sometimes I miss her,
The angel that I used to be.
But then I remember the heartbreak,
So this demon thanks you for setting me free.
