You were an angel, so I burned
Your wings to the ground.
I turned you into something ugly,
Something I could relate into my self.

I scarred you because your flesh was bare.
I carved my initials in your soul;
So you'd never forget my destruction.
I didn't want someone so beautiful to exist.

I couldn't have loved someone so pure,
No one so flawless could have ever loved me.
You had to become damaged…
Because I was too broken for the both of us.

I wish I had left you beautiful though...
Left you with that glimmer in your eyes
The light I snuffed out
To test the limits of love.

I wish I had trusted
that the demons would be ugly
That an angle set ablaze
Would twist a soul malevolently

To ashes we will burn now,
Watching each other fall to pieces.
