~SLEEP, MY FALLEN ANGEL ~

Sleep, my fallen angel.

A vision of strength and beauty, you were

Towering upon the weak.

Thousands have gazed upon you in awe

Wanting nothing more than to be graced with your presence.

I too, was one of them.

You are a king among peasants.

A God among mortals.

You are a hero. My hero.

Forever and always.

Sleep, my fallen angel.

Let your troubled mind cease.

Soak up my affections and gentle words

As I caress your silken silver hair.

Let me kiss away the troubles

If only for a moment.

I cannot see someone as mighty as you

Crumble to the ground like the decaying ruins of a mighty empire.

I try to help. It is useless.

It will never be enough.

Sleep, my fallen angel.

I gaze upon the world you have destroyed.

The madness swims in your eyes.

It burns through your blood

How it pains me to see you like this

Knowing there is nothing I can do or say.

You no longer feel me near you.

No longer hear my screams and pleads.

Your mind is plagued. You heart is cold.

You are numb to me.

Sleep, my fallen angel

Close your eyes and feel the peace

Unravel the darkness within your soul.

The twisted glories and promises

Uttered from the lips of deceivers

Will be nothing more than black memories.

Burn them. Toss them aside.

They are nothing now.

You are stronger than this. Than them.

That's what I always thought.

Sleep, my fallen angel.

You are safe now.

Be at peace

And sleep.
