A damaged Angel with a broken wing
Loses her vision and forgets how to sing
Broken in spirit by lifes unpleasent hand
The dreadful choices made when it comes to a man
to withdraw in downright denial is coping at best
to hide the truthful veracity from all the rest
to say it noticably would shatter her by far
and cause her to lose ho;d of that one shining star
he brightens her day with his prevalent grin
as she accepts within that she cannot win
the turmoil inside that she bears to herself
always certain to put it away on that shelf
of broken hearted treasures and thoughts so profound
always perceptive that they’ll shatter to the ground
dreams are like ribbons and the finest of lace
they distangle so easily and sweep at your face
until nothing is left but the few tatters that were
and remnants of what has become entirely unsure
