“Whenever I cry I wish an angel could hug me.
Humans lie,
Humans steal,
Humans manipulate,
Humans betray…
If an angel hugged me,
I would know that everything’s going to be okay.”
I cry to you because you would die for the truth.
“If you met an angel,
Your heart would drop to your stomach before its arms engulfed you.
Satan used to be the most beautiful angel,
But angels cannot be both beautiful and good.”
You heal me with the truth,
And my mind is made up.
“I’ll let myself be caught in the grasp of fear,
Because humans are far scarier to me.
Humans lie,
Humans steal,
Humans manipulate,
Humans betray,
And many of them are beautiful.”

(An angel can not be beautiful and good) a powerful line that sums it up. Only children can be beautiful and good. A really wonderful write that in thought provoking and asks what are we looking for? Nicely done
Your interpretation fits best with what I meant to convey, being that the devil is known for being beautiful and angels are known to be scary looking creatures that instill fear into those who see them. The irony in the fact that someone as evil as the devil can be beautiful, welcoming and inviting in how they look; kind of like how humans can be good looking, charming and witty yet use those features to lure people in to harm them.
Angel doesn't necessarily mean good, I love the way you expressed this. Humans are influenced by satan, but are they worse for actually doing the actions?
I sense this is implying Angel does not always mean good and everything that is beautiful is not always good, a very interesting write, nicely expressed
