Death to an Angel

Death to an Angel

A Poem by Travis Prino

It's my unhappy ending to happy things

it's this terrible nightmare that darkness brings

it's over the rainbow but buried under dirt

it's a photograph finish with stains on your shirt

it's the right to the wrong but nobody cares

it's you lying here naked or in underwear

it's the breaking of a window with glass on the floor

it's putting back the barriers that were there before

it's everything beautiful, it's everything dead

it's everything I want to be, all the stupid things I said

it's staring into nothing with dreams in your eyes

it's that sudden upset stomach when you finally realize

it's feeling so helpless, it's feeling so numb

it's the end of our beginning that never did come

it's my unhappy ending to happy things

it's me broken hearted as you spread your wings

and fly into the sun

please wake me so it can all be undone.

I LOVED this. Good work! I really like the comparisons, it hits me as relatable... I think most of the readers can feel the emotion in this!

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
