ANGEL
High on her upon mattress low
Coke bottles foil and straws
I didn't do it didn't do it didn't
Was the scrawling on the walls
The catch of stale blue cheese
The moult morn snort and sloth
The rot of losing self self loathe
Both ravished and repellant both
My angel you called out to me
As if I was a god
Fair angel you called out to me
As if I was the lord
Ribbons flame blue yellow sage
Claw foul name came foully rage
Your light your tears held tight to me
As you called the devils out
As seven devils roared out of me
As I struggled in the pit of salt
You whose love laid love on me
Prayed Lord and cried the devils out
Coke bottles foil and straws
I didn't do it didn't do it didn't
Was the scrawling on the walls
The catch of stale blue cheese
The moult morn snort and sloth
The rot of losing self self loathe
Both ravished and repellant both
My angel you called out to me
As if I was a god
Fair angel you called out to me
As if I was the lord
Ribbons flame blue yellow sage
Claw foul name came foully rage
Your light your tears held tight to me
As you called the devils out
As seven devils roared out of me
As I struggled in the pit of salt
You whose love laid love on me
Prayed Lord and cried the devils out

The way you mess around with sense and syntax is jarring at first, but it all comes together in the final verse, which is the best of the piece, a mesmeric and moving little quatrain which exemplifies the theme of love and redemption perfectly. The structure of the poem as a whole does that, in how it begins in surreal and nonsensical verse, then slowly develops into something both sensical and gripping. Thank you for the read!
(Grammar quibble: because the context is possessive, "who's" should be "whose" in the penultimate line. "Who's" is an abbreviation of "who is".)

Thanks Jack for the careful read - this was for Crim's downside of drugs competition. But I'm very glad that you experienced the themes of love and redemption- very much enjoying your work as well
