Grounded Angel
Broken wings flutter down
 They've just flown their last flight
 Taken their last journey
 They crumble onto the frost bitten ground.
 They hold perfectly still. 
 Not a motion. Not a heartbeat.
 But wait,
 There's a girl attatched
 Cut and bruised
 Battered inside
 Her turmoil shows on the tear streaked face
 It's hidden in her hands
 She trembles.
 It's apparent she's crying.
 Her shoulders shake
 But she's silent
 She wants to be free
 But she's trapped now.
 She lost her privelage to fly.
 To wander.
 And now she's grounded in this strange place.
 Cold. Unfamiliar. Terrifying.
 She claws her way to her feet
 The weight of her wings holds her down
 She tries to fly
 She falls to the ground.
 She's broken
 She's giving up.
