Fallen Angel

She smiles so often,

That I hate it when she frowns.

I hate how I'm the one,

Who tends to bring her down.

Elegant brown hair and blue-green eyes,

A genius when she wants to be,

A fallen angel when she cries.

I yell at her when I'm angry,

I ignore her when I'm sad,

I try to suppress the urge,

To apologize when I am bad.

But as she sits there broken,

I comfort her the only way I can,

With an awkward tone I compliment her,

Rub her shoulder with my hand.

When we are alone,

When we find things hard to deal,

It is in these fragile moments,

That I truly show her how I feel.
