[hometext] => Written for a story of mine. Relates to my other poem ''Dark Dreams,'' but is from a different perspective... is also further along in the story.
[bodytext] => Her open cuts begin to bleed She falls upon her pale knees The feathers drip, the feathers fall Is she an angel after all? And you have seen her soaring On a pair of broken wings You've never seen her bleeding Though you know she's cut so deep Her crystal tears begin to flow Her love and sorrow grows and grows The blood that drips, the blood that falls Is she an angel after all? Oh curses to the devil That could cause her so much pain! Oh woe upon the devil Who would hurt her in this way! Now in her heart she knows what's true What once was gold shines icy blue The words that drip, the words that fall Is she from heaven after all? And all that I can give her Is a shoulder where it's safe And even though I love her She will never feel the same Rising from the ground she sighs And wipes the teardrops from her eyes "So now I trip, and now I fall But now I'll stand and face your call." Standing by the window He turns around and sighs And I know he is as heartless As the day he left her side "Lucifer, you've changed too much There's something different in your touch The tears must drip, the tears must fall Do you believe me after all? I thought that you still loved me But it seems that I was wrong It's time that I stopped crying It's time that I moved on And now I think I've changed my mind So after all that I can find My tears will fill an empty pail But in the end, I will prevail." Through all of this he calmly takes A cold, impassive, heartless face And all the courage she has shown Has only left her out alone Now all that I can give her Is a shoulder where it's safe And even though I love her She will never trust again.
