Angel Tears

Soft, feathery wings

"Not black,

not white...

but a beautiful shade of grey"

She said,

brushing them tenderly

while smiling

Hint of mystery

Hint of sorrow

I cough helplessly

The smoke rises

from her burning cigar,

stinging my eyes

but,

it is a treasured memory

to keep in my mind

forever

Sheltering the sadness

that lies beneath her

But why?

Pt. 2

I am sinbound...

Wings that look

dipped in black...

The color of death

Why do I exist?

Old Home doesn't need me...

Alas, I'm chained down

to this forbidden room

Paintings of my dreams

no...

nightmares

I cure myself

Pt.3

Why hide your feelings?

Let them show

I know you are a good haibane

no matter what sins you have committed

You've taken care of me

embraced me warmly

"I will always be by your side"

Remember?

Black is not the color of just death...

It's the color of your long, beautiful hair

that shines in the sun

and

your comforting eyes...

Your First Flight will come

just believe...

please...

Does not the smoke from your cigar

rise to the heavens?

Now,

let me be the one to embrace you

this time

Can I whisper something in your ear?

Reki,

a pebble is small

yet beautifully simple

it can be thrown across the water

with immense freedom

be free, Reki

and—

one more thing

Your such a fool...

y'know...

it's ok to cry...
