Whispers of a fallen angel

I went sky diving without wings.
Never tell the big guy "you're a withering fantasy"
He's just not built for that.

It's like you have this obscene romance.
I used to have porcelain skin not so long ago.
Now I'm so very dark and I have lost the light.

Once in his grace you've caught the addiction
You will never know what I mean if you're a
Whisper of a dead lullaby.

It's no fun walking around in the nude.
No one can see me, so I sit and watch.
Did you just call my name?

Bring back my wings so I may once again soar.
Talk to me PLEASE!!!
My addiction grows worse.

Time grows near, and I know the war must come.
But I'm a lover not a fighter in the end.
Shelter me with thy love.

Hear my crying voice.
See that I mean you no harm.
I just want to come home where it's warm.

wow, this is really good. it has so much depth and the meaning. Your opening line is very strong and vivid as is the rest of the poem...magnificent work...

reminds me of a ballad of fallen angels of the Anime Show "Cowboy Bebop" great piece

This is so deep and thought provoking.. so much said that can be interpreted in so many ways! I like the word-usage and meaning behind everything... just that feeling like you'd like to come home where you feel safe... a lover not a fighter.. that too is me.. I can relate to a bit of this writing! =)

I like your imagery, it really reveals the fragility of this angel. I was encompassed by the angel's sadness. Thank you.

A very nice piece Kelley. I do wonder why you stuck that "thy" in the sixth triplet. I mean you did not say "didst thou" for "did you" so why a one word regression to the King James English? Still... a great write.
