Ending Before an Ending

Butterflies resemble angels, don't they? I wonder what miracle brought them here to our mislead species.

I was a dark angel from hell

I was a messenger for evil

I was a raven with poisonous feathers

I was a panther, swift yet weathered.

You were a white angel from heaven

You were a disciple of good

You were a dove with a healing gaze

You were a tiger, calm yet ablaze.

But my eyes did seek

And my soul did run

So my heart did raze

And my mind did craze and come undone.

So your will did crush

And your anger did sear

As your mouth did tremble

And your feelings did boil and fill me with fear.

You are a villain to truth

You are a sinner to hope

You are a liar to trust

You are a beast meant to bust.

I am a bloody river

I am a waste of space

I am a breaker of goodness

I am a monster, still crooked.

An eye for an eye

Makes the whole world blind

So I suppose I cant climb

From this pit where lie

With this graveyard all mine....

Wings broken, I cry.

That was incredible. I'm not really sure how else to describe it. The dark and the light, the love and the lust, the longing and the hatred. It's all there! I love how you used angels to depict the image. It made the fall seem so much more dramatic. The switch of personality from good to evil so much more horrific.
And the heartbreak, the surprise, the fear... you conveyed that so well. Poetically.
Beautifully dark. Achingly sad.
Incredible creation, Riley.

Misunderstood as a person, the dear angel goes on a rampage and betrays its own belief that violence doesn't solve violence..only to come to soon, and regret the action. I enjoyed this, it tells the sorrowing story of a fallen angel minus any images too gruesome.
