Jan 2016
Her wings are no longer as white as they once were, dinged so with her life.
Her halo does not sit as straight anymore
Sitting askew, more left than right
Her eyes still shine just as bright though
Surprising through all she's endured

His wings are as black as midnight
They shine like the onyx of his eyes
He lost his halo years ago
He's caused so much strife
He's played the world like Loki
Always looking on where next to strike

They saw eachother one day
An innocent passing of ways
Their souls didn't want to continue on
They wanted to stop and gaze

She, her ever stubborn self,
made the first move
He, his all so Loki ways,
tried hard to not follow her allure

But he was drawn to her halo of light
As askew as it set
He agreed to their first meeting
One neither would forget

Time and time he tried pushing her away
Give up though she would not
She saw lightness in his wings, in his eyes
she was caught

She knew that his halo was not lost
Just placed somewhere hidden deep
She was determined to find it
Along the way his secrets she'd keep

She found his halo one night
As tarnished as it was
She tried to place upon his head
Even asking for help from above

He had been attempting himself to set her halo straight
To once again make her wings pure as snow
To have her see that sinner she is not
He sees her as his saint

They finally gave into each other, one night without fear
His halo finally upon his brow
Unlike hers, his remains tarnished, never clear

His eyes still as black as ever
They'll never lose that hue
His demons will forever remain inside
Though peace in her green ones he finds

Her wings never quite fully recovered
But not as dingy as before
His wings as black as midnight, themselves changed too
No longer dingy and black as onyx
They both now carry true passions hue
