Feathers Rent

Feathers Rent

A Poem by Tales From the Mad Cafe

Wings rent and torn
Restricted from flight
So instead I walk
By day and by night
The Earth my prison
For Heaven forsakes
My love turned to ash
Burned by my mistakes
I seek no redemption
My defiance too great
Penance is a heavy heart
Dragging me with its weight
So I bind the feathers tightly
Yet it is useless to try
Wings are delicate things
And once broken refuse to fly
