Broken Angel

Broken evil,

Angel so bruised,

Either way it went,

One had to lose.

And so wings have shattered,

Feathers all lost,

Sacrifice to save one,

But at what cost?

No healing left for you now,

Bloodied, and so torn,

Nothing to do but feel the pain,

And to sorrow and mourn.

Maybe tears will purify,

Saline will burn dark away,

And wings shall be whole again,

To fly another day.
