The pain courses through my body My shoulders flare every time I move I look around My wings lie on the ground Blood spills down my back As I watch the wings vanish Wounds dissappear I try to grab a feather Before it too fades I wonder for years Searching for anwers I find the goddess She tells me she is sorry "Your destiny, my child, is to be with a human not me" I look at her with sorrow and with joy "Why" Her eyes water "Life, no the world is dying" My hand touches hers "Mistress why does this happen" Her tears start to flow "I don't know. But the two of you are the key to our survival" I turn and walk away My heart breaking "I must leave" Her voice comes through the shadows "I hope they're the right ones" My thoughts say "I know it. "Why else do I long for love more than my wings returned"
