did hurt when you fell from heaven?
did it hurt when your wings started shedding-
-when you started losing yourself-irreversibly-
you pulled out the first feather and you thought
what will become of me/who am i/who am i
did it hurt when golden clouds shrouded you for the last time
did it hurt when the gilded grass cut your feet
instead of folding under your wings
did it hurt when your halo cracked
becoming no more than shrapnel
above a cloud of unholiness
did it hurt when your 5th eye closed for the
last time
did it get any better with your 4th?
did it hurt when you plugged a wound with
gauze for the first time-
did you hands tremble/are you scared
did it hurt when you saw humanity and did you cry. cry of hurt and shame and it used to be
so easy what
what did you do?
