Fallen Angel

The black heart of a fallen angel.. Resides within my chest Filling me with the tainted blood So commonly found in hellfire.. Tattered wings.. Bloodied and torn.. Escaping through my spine Enveloping my body in a thick coat... Bright eyes.. With an underlying light So reminiscent of demon skin.. Which can scorch the eyes of the innocent A wall of mercury.. Placed upon my wall Is something more than a liquid mirror.. For I can see into my own soul The black smoke fills my veins.. And the red light shines through my skin Helpless..  are my actions... Empty..  are my emotions Yet the words to describe.. Are rarely lost to the black ocean Where my dreams float Just out of my reach.. To a depth I reach Yet the shining light so pure.. Lays so close to my reach So close to my heart... If only love would fly my way And these torn wings would heal... If only I would feel that warmth again My skin could be shown.. I pray to fly with the angels once more But my bloodied wings hold me to the ground... I pray to feel the wind across my face And the sun shining brightly once more.. How much more can be lost Without losing all hope? And how many more pains will I feel.. Before there is no feeling left? I know I will fly again.. And my hate will fade But the question is when.. Which will plague me Until the answers have fallen from the sky.. Speed quickly to my heart.. Sweet love from the sky I beg of you to find me.. For I know not where to look..
