Broken Angel

By Cazza Cat

In the darkness she prays,

She prays for the light.

In the darkness he waits,

To bring endless night.

She smiles gently

To her warrior true,

He leaps down

And runs her through.

The warrior stares in her eyes,

Blank and lifeless not alive

She is never again to laugh or cry,

Never to get angry or smile.

He touches her gently

Her face, her lips, her hair

It's like she's asleep

Asleep but not there.

Her warrior swears vengeance

On Darkness's head.

He will not stop

Till darkness is dead

He carries her to the waters edge,

For the last time he sees her face

He places a flower in her hands

And lets her float to her final resting place.
