Let Down

You know the best part about really needing someone? It's when they let you down and don't even notice. It's when you're screaming for them and they refuse to hear. When you're choking down your pain, because you don't want them to see you cry even though all you really want to do is curl up against them and let the tears fall, but it would hurt so much more to let them see and have them turn away then for them to never know at all. It's knowing that every good intention paves your road to hell and that every promise is just another way to lie. It's knowing what they say to win your heart is being said to someone else as well. It's knowing they'll never really see you, because their too busy looking somewhere else. It's knowing you'll never be good enough, because they won't even let you try. That you're just a part of the background when the main events not around.. But mostly, it's knowing someone else would love you right, but your hearts already been given away.

Sword and Shield

I hold his devil and he my angel. Without him I'd walk a path with no redemption for it's said when an angel loses her grace she falls, but when I lost my wings he grew his own and now we fly together. I've kept his soul safe where no sin can touch, for I know just what he'll do. I'll be his sword and I'll drop his enemies to their knees and execute them in vengeful blood. They'll know the wrath of a woman's heart and cower in fear of being the next struck down. Where I walk a path of blood will follow and where it leads will be the only place I've ever called home.
I hold her angel and she my devil. Without her I'd walk a path of fire, for no devil can enter heaven without getting scorched, but she followed me down so we could burn together. I've kept her soul safe from the evil she's wrought, for she truly knows not what she does. I'll be her shield and I'll defend her from foes that would do her harm and take the blows she'd not survive. In my protection she will be untouchable and for those that come for her blood they will only find my own. I'll follow where she leads so I can keep the monsters away, leaving her safe at the place we call home.
