Abandoned, lying on the ground

The heavy chains, they bruise my wrists

To you, I am forever bound

Ever since our desperate kiss

You gently whispered in my ear

Of dancing in the rain

Sweet lies that I loved to hear

My one escape from pain

I followed in your footsteps

To wherever you would go

Faithful ‘till my last breath

You’re the keeper of my soul

I’d run to you, my shelter

To hear words softly spoken

But now I can’t return to you

For I am dying, broken

Death called at my window

Elongating my fear

Of knowing that I have to go

And you need to stay here

I hope I haven’t failed you

I flew down here to save you

Not realizing, later

I’d succumb to need, and crave you

An angel dressed in white

Thrown into the fire

Taken to the deepest night

Filled with dark desire

The purity in me faded

As my love for you had grown

And I couldn’t fly away

Leave you and be alone

My snow white wings are gone now

Shriveled off with lack of use

My gown has been dyed black

Like my heart from your abuse

I have no golden halo

Shining light atop my hair

You threw it and it shattered

It lies crushed over there

Why do I wish to stay with you?

See these awful scars you gave me?

Because you stole my heart, it’s true

And kept me here to save me

Wouldn’t let me out all day

Too dangerous to run and play

You kept me locked away

And all I had was you

The world soon forgot me

Though I wasn’t bitter and sad

For you told me sweetly

That I was all you had

You always were my everything

What I needed and much more

So I had no need to leave

To escape out of your door

Even when you hurt me

I know you loved me still

‘Twas I who was to rescue you

For you were sick and ill

So no matter what you did

Every drop of my blood shed

Was spent on your savior

To guide you out of bed

No more dreams of misery

I’m always at your side

I will act a hero

In me, you can confide

I can take your anger

Your beatings hurt no more

Doesn’t matter that I’m wounded

That my blood covers the floor

I’m sorry for leaving you

I have few seconds left

Though there’s something I need to say

‘Fore my dying breath

I hope that you have smiled

Solely because of me

Then my mission is accomplished

And I will set you free

Though unwillingly I drift skywards

My presence lingers on

And I will always love you

Even after I am gone…
