I once met an angel named
        deception
who whispered broken promises in my ears
so I would live in her lies
I once met an angel named
         vanity
who lurked with a vengeance behind the faces she consumed in a morbid masquerade
to take away all feeling of something real
I once met an angel named
         ignorance
not understanding things so simple
unable to differentiate the dying from the living
maybe just because she didnt want to see the truth.
I once found the devil with an angel's face
an angel who came to me in silent dreams
saw my transparent secrets
taunted my weaknesses
gazed at me with those blue eyes
drinking my salty tears like the blood of love's
martyrs
which now mingles with my own.
I once found the devil with an angel's face
but I couldn't tell the difference any more.

Just when I think I can be proud of what I write, someone comes along and writes a poem like this-much better than my pathetic attempts.......
You are truly talented, and I look forward to reading whatever else you have inside your head!

And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
