Decaying Angel

I met an angel along the way

She seemed so sick, her wings covered in decay

Her feathers turned black as night

She gave me the chills, sent a message of fright

The blue aura that once surrounded her diminished

She cried out to me, yelling for forgiveness

She was laid out for the whole world to see

I never knew angels could become crippled, like she

I reached out my hand and told her I was here to help

But she looked at me and said she was going to hell

A disturbed shade of pale grew over her face

As her veins gave way to a new race

Her mouth opened, her tongue hungry for flesh

I took out my knife and stabbed her to death

I laid her bleeding body into the sea

From that day on Heaven didn't seem so fake to me

Posted by Sad Sara 2008-03-20 03:49:25 I thought... Yer imagery and word choices here added the 'Wow' factor to yer verse. Sorrowful One, yer seem to know a thing or two about Angels, so I was wonderin' if yer knew if it was true what me mum tol' me when I was a lil' Pollyanna- Here's what she tried to feed me while I was eatin' me Angel food cake one day she said: 'Pollyanna, did yer know that we only eat Angel food cake to get back at Angels fer eatin' people food cake?' Of course I said nothing, because, well, I didn't talk till I was like eight years old unless I absolutely had to. So I juss keep eatin' and thought: 'Those sick bastards are eatin' people' Anyway, I'll be awaitin' fer yer Angelic cake wisdom in regards to me inquiry. Loved yer verse Take care, 'Anna + Report this comment
