An Angel Watches Over

She watches through closed eyes
Heart pure as snow
As the innocents mingle with the
Taint of scum.

She knows not of
The coming conflict, but
Instead forces
The voice from her head.

He speaks of lies,
Deceit, and an era of pain.
This angel will not
Listen to the voice of unreason.

So, though her wings are burnt
And gone,
She will fight for the people
She loves,

A devils angel she may be,
But in the light
She shines her brightest
Forcing back
All that was taken from her.
