I put her in the clouds. 
Was it love or all the drugs?
Still trying to figure it all out. 
I used to think she was an angel,  I'd not use a comma here
but looking at it now
even the devil got his start
as a helper to the crown.  perhaps remove "a."  This is quite subtle; might capitalize "crown."
There might’ve been some signs 
that she wasn’t who she seemed might remove "that"
but I think we’ve all been blinded 
by pretty little things.
A nice little poem with some further-reaching implications.  The speaker, for example, compares him?self to God, and also implies a very interesting story - that God was blinded to Lucifer's impending treachery (or just rebellion) by L's star-of-morning beauty.

That may be over-reading, but the poem's well enough done to support it.
