Shattered Angel Poem by Tessa Richardson

From her back grow tattered wings
Thru glistening eyes you see vicious things.
You see her sufferings, her hurt and pain
and that all she died for had been in vane.
At night she cries silently
and shakes from hurt so violently
but she sings so beautifully through her pain.

So feintly does her heart beat
and listlessly does her blood flow,
her wings no longer sweetly glow
and they do not carry her in flight.

Now her heartbeat stumbles and
her backbone crumbles
she can no longer see the light
for she has been blinded by the night.
Her mind taken over her heart
no longer beats, no longer an art
but if you try to realize
you may see her demise.

But now he comes along
and says 'I need you to be strong
if we should last forever,
because now we're together! '
