Shadows cast upon the
forest as the sun goes down to sleep,
The wind's whispers bare
the sound of an angel's silent weep.
The trees shed their leaves
to cover up this mortal flesh and skin,
A casket within woodland
built in filth and born from sin…
Her strong wings that once
bared feathers have now turned so fragile
Like wings of
butterflies that keep her bound to earth in denial,
The tears pour
slowly down on her livid face – a flood of pain –
She tries to
hide away from the world, away from crimson rain.
She feels
watched as her dress grows roots deep within the ground
And the
roots grow stronger every second – to earth she is now
bound,
Emotions overwhelm her as a storm of dust embraces her body
– cold,
Her soul is trapped within the walls of flesh – the
pain too great to be told.
Amidst autumn leaves she takes one
more sorrowful breath – alone
And the fear of fading becomes
unbearable for this angel with no home,
In her last moment of life
she prays for forgiveness for she has hope
That she will not be
left to rot in the oblivion with which she can't cope…
