Scorched Wings

"What happens when an angel falls?"

"They crash and burn."

Wind rushed up to meet,
Welcoming me in its embrace.

I was falling from grace,
But felt nothing but petty joy.

Freedom never felt so good,
Until the ground came rushing up.

My body slammed into Mother Earth,
Sinking deeper in her warmth.

Flames erupted like an explosion,
Licking my skin so tenderly.

The fire crackled and spat,
Tearing my wings in half.

Horns replaced my halo,
Hellfire consumed my soul.

I was born an angel,
But raised to be a devil.
