I’ve fallen
My wings are broken
Their feather’s are black now
I can no longer fly
This place is such torture
It’s a lot like a hell
And now that there’s no one
I’m ready to die
Between life and death
I’m failing to breathe
I feel like I’m bleeding
Refusing to cry
And now that I’ve crashed
The thorns cut my skin
The blood flows quite freely
Life passes by
Flailing through darkness
I can’t see at all
The cost of my banishment
Not worth the lies
Now that I’ve fallen
This place is such torture
Between life and death
My life passes by

The author's comments:
For a while I was really into this "Fallen Angel" kick where I drew and wrote poems and stories about this fallen angel, the epitome of heavenly looks but his temper and the things he had done created a chaos within himself and with the others around him. This is my favorite of the poems I wrote about him.
