Broken Angel

I walk the long, dark road...it's ripped and gashed surface showing the wear of age and use....
I know not where it leads...
Where I'll go...
Whether or not I'll leave my troubles behind me or if they will stalk me silently on this dark and desolate way...
I know not what I seek...
But "Seek and Ye Shall Find" they say....
So I set out to seek my fate, come what may....
Long and long and longer still I have traveled...
My future far off and hazy...
When I am my most world weary....
Who should I happen upon but an Angel...
Fallen...
Broken...
Lost...
I see my sad resignation in her eyes...
I see the pain of the world I walk there, too...
I wrap her in my comfort like a cloak...
I murmur words to soothe her...
A healing balm for a broken soul...
Our shared pain pallible in the frigid night air...
Two damaged souls clinging to one another in the night...
Seeing our own pain in one another,...
We see the path to each other's redemption...
We hold to one another tight...
Raising each other from our own private Hells...
At long last there is light in the darkness of the night...
A hazy gray of dawn approaching...
A ray of light to guide us back...
To light our way down a road not paved in sorrow...
As we start down the shadowed, still, silent road...
We wonder what fate will hold in the grey....
With my broken Angel by my side to guide me...
And to I there to guide her...
We will follow where the path leads us...
With hope raising in the new dawn of day...
