Broken Wings

Falling out of the sky

An angel falls with broken wings

What have you done wrong?

What are you hiding?

The angel replies

 

I’m banned from heaven

Changing the fate of one’s life

It wasn’t his time to end

God wanted him to see the light

And I kept him alive

 

With these broken wings I fall

It feels like I’m trapped between two walls

They are beginning to cave in on me

This is a nightmare that becomes reality

What was it that I really did wrong?

 

Changing one man’s life

It just wasn’t his time

With these broken wings I try to fly

Please god tell me I did right

The angel slowly begins to die

I look into his eyes

This is where beauty lies

 

He gasps only a few words

And says I tried my best to make sure you don’t hurt

I realize I’m the man he had saved

His broken wings that he gave

Just so I can live out my days

I owe him my life

And when I die I will sacrifice my wings

For this angel kept me alive

one of my most favorite poems in the whole world.
i absolutely loved this.

My heart was beating so fast by the end because i was literally picturing the angel falling, and such sacrifice, and such love, and gah! it was just all so wonderfully written!
