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.

The Ashes
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.
