Abused Angel

The evil ones abused an angel
They tore out her heart and scarred her soul
This is the story that I tell
About that sweet angel:
It is so sad; her halo's bent
They've broken both her wings
Her skin has lost it's golden shine
Her voice raspy now when she sings
The twinkle in her eyes is gone
Her smile is now a frown
Her tears they fall just like rain
As she walks with her head down
She stops and looks up at the sky
At stars so far away
Then proceeds to bow her head
And begins to pray
"Oh dear Lord hear my cry
Look at me and see
Have I done something wrong
For them to destroy me?
Did you put me on the earth
To be used in such a way?
To be hurt for no reason
Each and every day?
I used to try to hold them back
I did with all my might
But now I have just gave up
I don't even try to fight
I'm to weak to go on Lord
What am I to do?
I can't stand this hurt and pain
And torment I go through
I beg you, Lord, to hear my prayer
This prayer I've prayed before
Just answer me this one question
Why do they hurt me for?"
Then she finishes her prayer
And says a quick "Amen"
Then the tears begin to fall
As she cries again
It seems her prayers are never heard
That's why she's so confused
Oh God, why don't you answer her
This Angel so abused
