My Bad Angel


Never really wants what’s best for me

He hammers things into my head

He tells me things like:

“If you just accept the way I treat you, allow me to walk all over you because we both know you aren’t leaving me. Once you accept this then you will finally be happy and be at peace.”

“I don’t want a relationship with anybody” but has a girlfriend the next month.

But I should’ve known better

My bad angel may love me somewhere inside but the toxicity swallows that

He is my angel

But I don’t trust him

 

My bad angel believes my worth is found when he’s inside me

He wants to drown but I want to drown in love and affection

“He’s no good for you” They say and I get upset because I know it is true

But he keeps a hold on me, around my neck and seduces me whenever he feels like it

 

My bad angel laughs in the face of Satan

He can’t dare love a woman because it’ll kill him

He’s my bad angel but plays good angel for another woman

He loves her but loves being within me and my soul

My bad angel was once a good angel but his bad angel corrupted him, touched him

Now he has touched me. Corrupted me.
