cruel beauty, a poem by alexis

From the perspective of an angel, talking to the lover lost to the fall.

cruel beauty




they said that
the most beautiful
angels make the
cruelest demons.



my darling, you were
so sweet and kind and
innocent before they
dragged you down to
the depths of hell.



you were full of love
before the fall. full of
hope, full of light, full
all the good things in
the horrid worlds.



the most beautiful angels
make the cruelest demons,
and my dear, you are the
cruelest of them all.
