Fallen Angel

You look like a high class lawyer but that is not the real you.
You hold deep painful secrets that the world can not know.
Memories of a time you have long since forgotten.
Your one desire is to recapture them at all costs.
Everyone else is just a pawn to be used and taken out of the game.
You step all over them if it means that the ends justify your means.
Every thing you do is purposeful and according to plan.
Anyone who gets involved with you gets hurt.
You continue to tell the next person this truth.
However they can't see it until it is too late.
They see the jewel you are but not the fallen angel.
