My Angel

You were my angel, you wiped my tears away, 

You helped me through the hardest times and kept my fears at bay, 

When I was weak you made me strong, 

You made me right when I was wrong, 

In so many ways you saved my life, 

Now everyday I pay the price, 

the day we married, my angel died, 

There was a demon left inside, 

I see you now for what you are, 

Each time you healed you left a massive scar, 

I look at the marks you left on my skin, 

I know this is a game I will not win, 

You were my angel once upon a time, 

But you have committed an unforgivable crime, 

Goodbye my angel, I am leaving, 

Because first impressions can be deceiving.

Beautifully tragic. I love it. It has strong emotion, you know? The last two lines are very powerful to me.

This is so sad! You have a tragic yet beautiful way of writing this poem. Great job. I love how you said , "the day we married, my angel died". It's as if this poem has a bit of a deeper meaning. I like it:)
