Does fate have our lives arranged?

              Only time will tell.

Can our meagre paths be changed?

              I used to think so.

Does grief always shed in tears?

              Trust me not always.

Can it last for many years?

              It will I know it.

Does life repeat in torment?

              I have no doubt.

Can a monster hold repent?

             Not even for a day.

Does evil exist on human ground?

              He sits; waits and watches

Can an angel be looked for and found?

               She fights, I have seen her.

The last line made me want you to continue..............
give answers as to why you had seen her, why you felt
such evil and answer your own questions...............
really enjoyed.

"Can an angel be looked for and found?
She fights, I have seen her. " That's the line that's going to hang with me for awhile. Nice flow.
Interesting... just read it from the bottom up and still it reads good. Starting with "can an angel be looked for and found?" and just go up. Genius or just a coincidence? Hmmmmmm. Good work.

This makes me wonder if the angel is actually inside of you. You are the one fighting and you may be reflecting on it (see her in the mirror?).

I have no doubt.

This makes me think about repeating mistakes and trying not to repeat the same one over and over again... eventually we hope that we'll or they'll get it and it won't happen again.

There's some optimism in this but I sense more of a realistic approach in the way it was written.
Nice!!
