Broken Wings

With broken wings a faltered flight,
Descending fall forsaking all,
Spiral helpless, a lifetime swirls,
Cruelty lives, evil intentions hurl,
Failings carved as daggers tear,
Letting go seems quite unfair,
Cleaving flesh, bleed every sin,
Demons feast who shall win…
Life full circle, now at an end,
Will no one save me, not one friend…
A quiet flutter, crumpled wings sputter,
Beating heart slows, and darkness grows…
Soft skin once warm, suddenly cold,
Darkest hour, before the light, be bold,
A shattered life, has lost its flight,
With broken wings, fallen to its plight…
