Fallen Angel
angelus errare
is what they call me
i am the fallen angel
"when the angel loses its way"
my wings are broken
and tarnished by soot
they are heavy, like my heart
for i can fly no longer
my feathers fall to the ground
they shine no more
they are black as night
like the common raven's wing
my heart glows no longer
it is dull and faded
the joy has been ripped out
cruelly trodden by a wanton lover
this guest, whom i let into my heart
has turned my world into a maze
rhyme and reason are nowhere to be found
they have fled to a more hallowed place
as i fall to the ground
tears tinged with blood fill my eyes
i stare at the innocent sky
as i draw my last breath
