Bad Angel Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Tell me again how you romanced despair
And how this little angel took your side -
As you left plainer comfort standing there
Her tears no match for flashy foolish pride?

And how you broke an ordinary heart
To flirt with glamour, novelty and fame
But found deceit had ripped your life apart
And left you with a temptress lost to shame.

And how this spirit turned from friend to fiend
With curt demands and endless expectation
Until she broke down what you had dreamed
And left you lost in desolation -

And then grew mute towards the bitter end
Bringing life to quiet desperation.
