angel with a broken wing

i saw an angel

at my window

staring at me

silently


one wing

hung

broken

limp

at her side


i wanted to help

but

as i went to my door

she appeared

next to me


she put a hand

to my face

whispered

"i failed you"


two other angels appeared


"i am sorry"


she disappeared
