Screaming off the Cliff

Angel Wings

You glided in on angel wings.

Your voice, soft, on broken things.

Not knowing what your love would bring,

when you glided in on angel wings.

*

Our eyes, we saw your angel wings.

The beating fixing splintered things.

We didn't know what health you'd bring,

when our eyes, they saw your angel wings.

*

Our hands, they touched your angel wings.

The feathers healing shattered things.

We didn't know what you wouldn't bring,

when our hands, they touched your angel wings.

*

You smothered us with angel wings.

You took away our broken things.

We didn't know what you would bring,

when you smothered us with angel wings.

*

You flew away on angel wings.

And you left us, empty, with no broken things.

We didn't know that you wouldn't bring

what you promised to, on angel wings.
