In A Gateway into my Soul through Poetry

You're an angel and a devil in my head
Kind one minute then the next wishing me dead
Who are you, I'll never know

You're the angel and a saint
Making me feel safe
I let down my walls 
Then the devil shows it's face
Making me run back into my fortress of sorrow

You used to be so kind
Now you're my demise
I'll tear myself apart
To fit within the box, you need me to squeeze in
I need to be wise

Now your the devil 
And now you don't care 
Now all my scars mean nothing
Because you're not here anymore

And I'm not jealous
But I want the girl
I used to know
The angel who you used to be
Not the devil
Who took over your head

I won't face the devil 
so I'll leave you behind
finally out of my head

You know how hard it is to feel like an extreme falcon-headed combat machine when somebody calls you "chicken man"?
