I try to protect your
heart from what I never
could endure or take

I try to fix your mess
while I make the
same repeated mistake

I try to fight your war
but can't stand on
my own battlefield

I could never protect
myself and instead
I became a human shield

I guess I didn't write enough today
I guess I didn't put enough emotion on paper
Because I still fill it burning in my chest

I didn't let enough ink spill
Should I try something red instead?
Maybe that's what's best

Too many days
Panned over too many months
Have I missed what we had in the past

Too many days
Panned over too many months
Have I been more than simply sad

I guess I didn't write enough
I didn't let enough ink spill
I can only try

Try to keep writing, breathing
Till myself
Or these feelings die

A
Ethereal wings,
Divine magical luminescence,
halo of pure light.

An angel on the edge,
spreading her wings,

will she fly or fall?

Angelic tears
create rain.

Even angels
feel pain.
