I met an angel earlier in my life She illuminated her own rays that gleamed beauty with every flicker She had wings that were hand painted by a higher being A halo constructed of nothing but love A voice that only spoke melodies She spoke to me by name and kept a hand on my shoulder I talked to my angel the other day Her gleam seemed to be fading Her feathers have been ruffled Her halo had been bent She still remembered my name but placed herself at a distance I asked if she was okay She only managed a nod I lost my angel today I didn’t realize the damage I caused her Every forgotten I love you was like a personal pluck of her wings till they were bare Every moment taken for granted stole her gleam And every selfish act bending her halo See with her halo on her head And my heart on my sleeve It only made it easier for us to bleed I let her go But I’m tired of sleeping in an illuminated room on a pillowcase of plucked feathers. Im dying thinking my heart can only destroy So I ask all of you If you see an angel with fractured wings and no halo Tell her I’m ready to flutter her with I love you That I can return her inner glow And That I propose a trade cuz she took something of mine when she left, My heart for her halo.
