An Angel In Disguise

She tirelessly woke to a mess every Sunday morning

It seems her demons partied late into Saturday night,

She would tiptoe around her demons as they slept

Cleaning and sorting until her home was put to right.

***

Her demons would carelessly leave things lying around

Knowing she would sort it all out, time and time again,

She never chastised them, understanding their needs

As they let off steam, fighting their anguish and pain.

***

“At times it is better to hide things in their shadows

As it pains me to sort through memories in the daylight,”

I have heard her mutter this under her breathe so often

Although I never truly understand her battle and fight.

***

I wonder how such an amazing creature became tormented

As she loves with her entire soul, body and pure heart,

Does she not realise that she is an angel in disguise

A blessing of love, light, compassion, a real sweetheart?

***

How is it that angels are allowed to fly close to the underworld

Letting the darkness creep closer and blacken her wings,

Why is it she gives so much, so often, to her dark demons

So she becomes her greatest apology, as they pull her strings.

***

Is it any wonder that she does not allow anyone to get close

Not if they are those special few that will make her feel,

It is understandable that she often hides in their shadows

Where her love, her emotions, the demons will conceal.

***

I understand why she wishes to hide her utmost feelings

Because with these comes the abhorrent self destruction,

She cannot have one without the other, as she wisely knows

For it was from an early age her pain made an induction.

***

I am in awe of her strength, her resilience, her power

As she fights her way through life, her survival indisputable,

I watch her battle her demons, putting them in their place

Whilst holding her head high, she is just so very beautiful.
