Fallen Poem by Paige Johnson

The world around me, moves, so slowly
I try to fade, become part of this, facade
But their eyes, just stare, drowning me with this fear

There's a face, from the background coming near
And after all this fear, its only you, your finally here
Arms so strong, hold me together, cant you simply stay forever
But no, there you go, once again,
And those eyes stare me down, in to the night again…

Bile churns, heart, too slow
Where, oh where did you go?
Eyes, all around, wishing me to drown
My feet glued to the ground
And you
Nowhere to be found

With wings, broken wings, so far gone never found
Never flight, only ground
What has damned you earthbound?

Rain falls, down windows, down on my face
Like the tears, so small, for angels that fall
Why don't you answer my lonesome call

Am I, a loner, of tedious few?
I never used to be, until you
What once was an angel, is now broken trust
Where are you? Am I alone?
Fading in to the dusk

Fallen angel, so small, earthbound for the thrall
No arms outstretched to break her fall

Alone she has flown
Gone home, to the overgrown
