Broken Angel

A dying angel on the ground
She cries out without making a sound
Innocence and beauty left unfound
In this dark and dusty abyss

She can't bring herself to stare at the phantom faces
She tries, but can't escape to faraway places
Lost in the shattered remains, the traces
Of a tattered and broken heart

Daylight doesn't dare venture here
All possible warmth quivers away in fear
Her body's too dry to shed one more tear
To somehow express her pain

Her arms and legs shake like fragile leaves in the storm
Only her blood can keep her warm
As another evil slowly takes form
And this angel is no longer herself

Blood seeps from her eyes in a blackened river
At the icy cold hatred, she doesn't shiver
Her words and chants continue to deliver
A curse upon the world

The halo falls and shatters in the dirt
And the monster derived from the endless hurt
Cleverly begins to flirt
With the option of her death

An invisible knife plunges into her heart
She feels no pain of being torn apart
She waits for her soul depart
But barely even bleeds

The black abyss in her eyes
Gazes toward misty skies
And silently she cries
"Please let me die."

Her knees collapse and she hits the ground with an ear-shattering crash
Her arms and legs and fingers violently thrash
And with another smash
Her head shatters on the floor

The evil spills from the heart of the girl who was once devine
Slowly the sun begins to shine
She awakes and suddenly everything's fine
And how it used to be

Now she starts her story over, once again dying,
Then rising and crying
And through all the trying
She's still just a broken angel on the ground.
