“Broken Winged Angel” written July 3, 2009

I’ll be your broken winged angel,
bow your head and say my name,
don’t cry those tears I see glittering,
it’ll all be okay; just wait and see.

The condemnations ring from closed minds,
yelling and screaming that what we share is bad,
please don’t listen, my sweet dear,
this is a beauty they’ll never recognize.

You’re begging and pleading for silence,
ask me to do the unthinkable,
don’t, please, I don’t want to do it,
can’t bring you to share this fate.

Too late, you’ve done it yourself,
your blood stains the bed we shared,
my tears flowing unchecked at the sight,
asking any and all why??

You’re my broken winged angel,
our sins staining wings identically black,
happy for the eternity that is now ours,
saddened by the cost of this eternity…
