two PERFECT scars on her back,

where BEAUTIFUL wings once sprouted.

[what happened to her wings?]


blood DROPLETS in her wake,

feathers MIXING in the mud.

[what happened to her wings?]


torn, AND scattered in the wind,

the same wind that blows at her back MOCKINGLY.

[e c h o i n g n e v e r m o r e]


a STORM is approaching,

she isn't flying AWAY.

[what happened to her wings?]


there is no MORE flight,

n e v e r m o r e, n e v e r m o r e.

[what happened to her wings?]


they stole them, when she wasn't looking,

taped them to their backs and flew away.

[e c h o i n g n e v e r m o r e]


lightning SLASHES across the sky,

ENDLESS pelting rain.

[what happened to her wings?]


if the thunder doesn't DROWN out her screams,

then MAYBE her cries will reach the ears in heaven.

[e c h o i n g n e v e r m o r e F O R E V E R m o r e]

I was torn between making this a song or just poetry because I really want it to be a song but I think this was definitely more of a poem. Um this was written as a response to :iconjadite:'s

:iconjadite: wrote a gorgous poem about an angel an it inspired me to write this one :D

What pops out most to me is the repetition of "what happened to her wings?". When I read that line, it's like a whisper in the back of my mind - it sends chills down my spine!

I loved the formatting of this poem.

I have to say, as I read on, I started to hear it as a song and it was strikingly beautiful.

I love your word flow, I love your style - I'm glad I read this. ^^
