Use To Be An Angel Poem by Shyann Court

She's sitting in the rocking chair
With her eyes on the door
With every creak across the floor
She thinks it's you coming home
But doesn't she know

That your so confused
You ripped her wings from her back
Just to watch her fall
And now she's sprinting from the dust
Hoping to fly again
It's sad to think she use to be an angel
And all she's left with
Is a forced smile and a broken halo

Shes sittin here doing things for one
No longer will it be for two
I think her heavenly father, has delivered a cue
You're no longer coming home
Yet she wont believe

That your so confused
You ripped her wings from her back
Just to watch her fall
And now she's sprinting from the dust
Hoping to fly again
It's sad to think she use to be an angel
And all she's left with
Is a forced smile and a broken halo

Why did you have to always be right
What did you have to prove
You sold her soul
And suffocated her dreams
Just in time to watch her innocence die

Honey...your so confused
You ripped her wings from her back
Just to watch her fall
And now she's sprinting from the dust
Hoping to fly again
It's sad to think she use to be an angel
And all she's left with
Is a forced smile and a broken halo

Its sad to think i use to be an angel
And all i'm left with is a forced smile and broken halo
I sold me soul
Just to follow you down
I promised to find the person within
But i watched my innocence die

You ripped my wings from my back
Just to watch me fall
And now I'm sprinting from the dust
Hoping to fly again
It's sad to think I use to be an angel
And all I'm left with
Is a forced smile and a broken halo
