Lullaby
Please don't cry,
My broken-winged angel.
Do not be afraid.
Not of me.
Though your innocence dies,
My silently screaming angel,
It isn't your fault –
Not in the least.
Yet here you lie,
My broken, shattered angel –
Trapped inside your
Cage of broken glass.
Unable to fly,
My vengeance-seeking angel,
You flutter your wings
So lost and so helpless…
And so you sigh,
My hurt and hating angel –
Frightened and angry,
And so very alone.
But you must try,
My dear and depraved angel.
I will help you,
You will be free to
Soar in the sky,
My not-quite-guilty-angel –
Soon, very soon
You will fly again.
