Falling Angels

Gossamer wings, return to dust

Plummeting towards the Hell that is Earth

Innocence lost

 

Sinking through the oceanic nighttime sky

Drowning in my own, all-encompassing evil thoughts

My life revoked

 

White linen robes,

of which I was once so proud,

turn as black as the Secrets I carry

 

This Knowledge, this "gift"

that was so pivotal to my race

is now my downfall, my death

 

Spiraling, tumbling

I spread my arms

and embrace the Earth

 

Thousands of my kind litter the ground

Crumpled and unimportant

All dignity lost

 

The Angels Have Fallen
