Those wings were mine.

Before they were so brutally ripped from me.

My escape, my freedom

Did you take them because you were afraid?

Afraid that I would fly for good after I had tasted the intoxicating taste of freedom?

I'm grounded, I should be feeling the twilight air swirl around me as I soar.

Instead, my knees are still as they grace the pale marble.

You broke me.
With my wings you took my spirit.

I now have a soul that refuses to leave it's cold cage.
