Wings

"I've got to find out all things
Find out where she got her wings"...

She picked me up from the floor.
I was sinking
          sinking
               

[[right through the concrete]]

She floated over my wounded heart
and showed me where I fell apart
She looked deep into my ugly soul
And said 'hey Honey, I'm in control'.

She gave me a roof.
She gave me a bed.


She coaxed me through the darklands.
I was losing
            losing

[[myself and my heartbeat]]

Tattoed wings beat on her shoulders
She held on til it was over
She looked past the scars and through the bone
And said 'Babe, I've got scars of my own'.

She gave me proof.
She healed my head.












[[And the funniest thing about my Angel?
She didn't have to kill me first.
No bright lights or tunnel vision
She just got me through the worst.]]


Author notes

Opening quote from 'Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn' by Hellogoodbye.

This is for the girl I live with. Her name is Morganne Rebecca Hayes and she is my Angel. I got kicked out of my house and she gave me somewhere to live. The best thing about this poem is that she really is an angel - she actually does have wings on her back.
