Broken Angel is the story of a teenage heroin addict (The Full Version)

Broken Halo, broken wings, her fall from the light was

not in her dreams, hitting hard she looked up, the little

fallen angel she did scream.

Thoughts of regret now fill her young heart, as an

emptiness fills her soul, for she now feels the pains

of being just a young human girl.

Her father's favorite she always was, daddy's

little angel, he called her, as she always smothered

him with her little butterfly kisses and tiny little

hugs, but now she is infected with addiction or

the evil of darkness unknown, cast out from the

heavens and beyond, she is now scared, confused,

and all alone. As her tears start falling it also

now begins to rain, she can hear in the distance

so faintly, the sounds of the other angels as they

start to sing, or one of their own has now fallen

far from her father’s grace, as the sadness and

the sorrow now are surrounding the heavens

and earth with her fall into a deep disgrace. She had

met another angel, who swept her right off of her

feet, promising her all the love and affection that

she ever needed, for the devil himself had now

planned his ultimate deceit.

Using his powers of persuasion he talked her into

leaving everyone all on her very own, he first took

away from her loving family and next, it was her friends

than anyone, she had ever known.

With everyone now gone around her the devil had

her all to himself, twisting her mind with addiction until

she became the devil herself.

The little angel who fell from grace was all alone in

her sorrow now, she felt an emptiness in her heart as

he sadness was showing on her face for the one

who took her and promised her all that eternal love,

now left her with the evil addiction, for he was the

devil in disguise as an angel and as she lay there

now and she finally did come to realize her fate

As thoughts of home were filling her young head,

she started remembering back to a home filled with

all the love she needed, and the last thing that her

father had said."You will always be my little angel

my sweet little thing, I can still remember when you

were so little and I bounced you on my knee and

pushed you at the park on the swing. Life is going to

be very hard, and men will always lie to you, but

just remember no matter what happens daddy will be

here and I will always love you, my little angel. with a

hug and smile on my face.

As tears filled her eyes and ran down her face, with

her young life now was a such a mess, she only wished

that she could go back in time so she could forget and

erase all of this.

For now, she could only lay there, knowing she was

going to die, for the needle that he pushed into her

arm before he left, was only filled with the dark evil

of addiction, lies, and a much certain death

As the little angel lay there her thoughts were starting

to slowly fade, she now felt like she was floating,

looking down she saw her lifeless body in a bed she

knew that she had now made.

Her daddy was holding his little angel as the tears were

falling down his face, he was hoping that they had found

her in time, as the doctors knew they were in a life and

death race. The little angel felt nothing, as her life started

slipping away. Thoughts of what had happened on the

very day they met, she wished now that she had said no

on that fateful day.

The doctors were trying hard to save her, as her daddy

began now to pace as the nurse looked down in sadness,

she knew that they were starting to lose this race, then all

of the doctors looked up as tears formed in their eyes, for

they had done everything that they could do now telling

her daddy that only a miracle would save her now or the

this little angel would die very soon.

Addiction the evil that came from hell was taking this little

angel now, she had turned sixteen just days before, lost

was her innocence forever for the devil wanted her little

angel soul.

The doctors and nurses were crying as they all left the

two now alone, her daddy fell down now on knees, praying

to God to please let her live and let him take her home.

As the little angel now lifeless her little heart had finally

given out, but her soul was refusing to give up, this little

angel was a fighter and fighting to live no doubt.

Her daddy stood over her body, as the tears were now

covering his face, with sorrow and grief beginning to set

in, he remembered his newborn baby the day she was

born, a beautiful little girl covered in pink and white lace.

As God and his angels looked down upon them, a very

deep sadness was clearly seen on their face, as out

God thought to himself "the devil will not take another so

he sent his fastest angels to save her. for our King in all

his righteous glory had now entered the life or death race.

The angels sent from heaven, rushed down to find and

save her soul, before evil had a chance to grab her and

take her to fires way down below., they looked for what

seemed like forever in the darkness they looked on, as

evil almost had her, they used their love to light the way home.

The angels had found the little angel crying for her daddy so

it was eventually told. Blessed was this little angel now,

a gift from God on her soul.

Her daddy now silent as the shock had started now set in,

he thought "how could I have stopped this? How did it all

begin? My little girl is an addict? Is this my fault?" As guilt

now started to win.

As the angels started to lead her back home, the little

angel cried, she said “I thought he was an angel but now

I know he was the devil who lied. Never again with

addiction, for now, I know about the evil and all of the lies.”

As each angel smiled and kissed her on the cheek they said

“you now have a full life ahead of you please learn from

this awfully close death for God will be watching you so

use this and help others as you now little angel have a

second chance.”

At that very moment, her lifeless little body gasp with one

big breath of air, saved by his Grace and Glory, she had

escaped very certain death. Her daddy looked up to

heaven, thanking God for hearing all of his prayers, he

said “I will have no more hate in my heart and teach only

love from now on this, I do swear."

The little angel started crying as she woke from her long

and dark sleep, Just a hug from her daddy is all that she

wanted and the love of her Father's she will always keep.
