Author's note: This is my first post in a while. Sorry I haven't been doing much. This isn't very long, and I'm not sure if it's any good. There will be an update very soon on most of my other stories. This is my first serious attempt at poetry and it's focused on Vincent. Please no flames.

Demonic Angel

By Aurora M. Tepes

Poetry One-shot

An angel sent for a killer's life, doomed to live through mounting sorrows.

The woman he was meant to wed

Loved another instead.

Nightmares, then, took to wing

What henceforth he'd never dared to dream.

And a cruel fate then o'ertook

Those saddened eyes, that grim look,

For the other whom his love did love

Tore her soul apart.

And the Assassin Angel, sad at heart,

Was changed to a demon.

Sealed away for 30 years,

Wrought to ruin from sin and remorse.

Tortured and hurt for an eternity,

Confined to nightmares of his past,

Haunted by the screams and cries

Given him by a mad man who destroyed his mind.

Forced to kill his love's son,

Finding peace at last in revenge,

The life of a Demonic Angel came to an end.
