Fallen Angel

Fallen angel, go back whence ye came! You say we're alike, but I'm not the same. You move in darkness, while I move in light. You say to give up, but I choose to fight. Dirty angel with your wings on the floor, You should have told me just what lie in store. I should have known it from that gleam in your eye. That one day you'd spread your wings and off you would fly. Wounded angel where did we fall off track? The pain you showed me, I gave you right back. Far from forgiveness and further from grace Yet, I still feel when I see tears on your face. Broken angel, surrounded by shame. You couldn't play the rules in this lover's game. Now we aren't lovers, we're not even friends. And I won't be around to fix your wings again! Lonely angel, I bid thee goodbye. I can't just watch you as you curl up and die. I tried to love you, but you left me no way. So now I leave because there's no more to say.
