Angel with the Devil Inside

"To the world you're an angel.
Dressed in white with a
gleaming smile on your lips.
But your eyes tell a different story.
There's the devil in those deep pools of blue.
Behind every kind word is an ounce of pain.
Though you're an angel, someone has broken your wings.
Which is why you give with all you have
to save others from enduring that.
And so yet you're one of the sweetest people alive,
eventually you always push everyone away.
Because your eyes tell the truth.
And you can't risk someone looking too close."

I know a few people like this. Perhaps even I am a bit like this too. Pushing people away, though not deliberately. This is a very pleasant read and describes the individual so well.

Absolutely astounding and beautifully composed. I can sympathize.
