because shes my angel
wrapped in wings
and tears streaming down
how will she survive these sufferings
her eyes long gone
but always tear stains
and her hair fallen all away
her wings are bare
and her feet scorched
she never stopped being scared
bravery lived long years ago
but her warmth is gone
she is too
but no one had a clue
because life's a struggle
through and through
Every corner crossed
her heart turned cold and blue
and scars stitched closed
when she never learned to sew
She shivers now
in damp corners
and cold stone
She lives in me
With eyes wide gone
and tear stained flesh
She screams at her chest
"God, I'm sorry,
I can't surpass this test"
Tiptoed to the ledge
Looked over the edge
And leapt for her life
the destination in her mind
and left the anguish behind
And when she spread her wings to fly
she flew so far and fell so fast
Her charred wings alone, awry
Free at last
