Fallen Angel, Broken Wings

There once was an angel

Who had fallen from the sky

She had been cast out of heaven

And had been left to die



And when she had fallen

From her place high above

She gave up on hope

And she gave up on love



So left on a land

That was cruel and was cold

She looked towards heaven

And there she was told



If you wish to return

Then love you must find

And if you do not

You can’t return to the sky



The angel bowed her head

And drooped her angel wings

Then noticed that her feathers

Had begun to change



Not a glowing white no more

But now a faded grey

Black around the softened tips

As her feathers fell away



Her feathers fell off one by one

Till only a few were left

Her angel wings had been plucked from her

Stolen like petty theft



For now that her wings were broken

And that she could not fly no more

Not only could she not take to the sky

But her soul could no longer soar



A tear fell from her angel eye

As she now set to her task at hand

To find love in a place this cold

In this cruel and barren land



But who could love a fallen angel?

Was the question to be asked

Certainly not the people she saw

As they would run or hurry past





For years she looked, but could not find

The love that she had sought

To scared to talk to one of them

And find out what they thought



They did not know just what she was

In their eyes she could see the fear

And in her heart she felt it break

As her judgment day drew near.



And then at last the day had come

And in sorrow she fell to the ground

For even though she had searched high and low

No love for her could be found



She wept in grief and cried to heaven

“Why could I not find love!

You the one who created this land

And watch us from above”



And in return she got a reply

And realized with despair

That all along there had been love

All along it had been there



That to have the love she searched for

You had to love one in return

Now that her fault had been brought to light

The table had been turned



If you want someone to love you

Then you have got to try

And take down your walls around you

Don’t be cold, but just be kind




So simple these words may seem to one

But to her it meant her end

Because she had failed to see this error

Her life she did now defend



The light from heaven disappeared

And she was left alone

Still on the earth where she had fallen

Her heart now made of stone



Now what ever happened to that angel

The one who fell from heaven’s grace?

You may not know it when you see her

This angel has but not one face



She takes on many forms of people

Mostly those with grief and pain

She still yearns and looks for love though

Even of today



So if you pass by a tear faced girl

Try not to be deceived

For you never know when it may be

The angel with broken wings
