Decaying Angels

By Tat

They say that when humans are born into the world they start to die. Who said that?

'From the day you live you begin to die.'

We are not human and yet we feel life slipping quickly through our fingers. This covering, a poor excuse for flesh feels sickening in a matter of days after we are born.

When we looked at you, our skin blotched, blackened, and sagged. When Daddy looked at you, and not us, the flesh began to peel and our muscles and mechanics were revealed. When Daddy talked to you, ignoring us, the fragments of flesh peeled further more and hung by a string, twisting and twining as the wind blew.

When you woke up, we fully decayed- nothing more than a wired skeleton.

Oh, don't fret. Don't worry. That will never happen to you. Unlike us, you are perfection. You will never decay. You are infinite.
