From the Surface of Things

~ * ~

I'm slipping from my pedestal,
My halo's cracked, twisted, broken on the floor.
What could I have done, to lose the grace of God?

I'm slipping, slip-sliding.
I'm falling, just drifting away
From the surface of things.

I'm falling down to Earth,
My wings are bent, torn, useless as I plummet.
What could I have done, to lose the sight of Truth?

No mortal bless'd am I,
Or angel will I be.
No death will be mine,
Or life will I see.

I'm sliding beneath the waves,
My robes are drenched, ripped, stained.
What could I have done to lose my faith in Love?

I'm slipping, slip-sliding.
I'm falling, just drifting away
From the surface of things.

I'm drifting down beneath,
My heart is blistered, bloody, betrayed.
What could I have done to lose belief in me?
