Question:Beautful angels surround
and I am encased in light
but one bring the awful night
the darkest angel, forever there

Light may never overpower
the beastly angel inside
no long can I hide
shadows are lurking in my soul

And at my last breath
the dark angel consumes
taking with it all my wounds
again it's proven light fails

I'm not certain if this was your intent, but I'm getting a great deal of the "you are your own worst enemy" vibe from this. Don't worry, that's a good thing. After all, what are we but fallen angels. I like the imagery of being surrounded by things, beings that are good and pure but there is one who brings the darkness, and it is you (not you, the author, the you, the speaker). The last line is a little bit of an enigma, as you intend it to be, I'm sure, but...I'd love to know what it means. Ah, well, the best things in life are free and mysterious. This poem is both.

I like it : {)
Keep up the good writing!
