Like Angels, We Fell
When the moon smiled at us
and shivers racked our fingertips,
turning them a shadowed blue,
we bent our fallen wings and
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIripped at the already-rotten
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIfeathers.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITinted windows shine
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIin darkened corridors;
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIour haunted ghosts
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIInever followed us there.
IIIIIIIII{destiny sparkles}
Like blood stains,
we dried and stayed for
the rest of eternity.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILike vampires,
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIwe fed on each
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIother's blood.
We were crows in a graveyard;
cracks in the concrete;
mascara tracks down pale cheeks;
and the underwater mermaid
everyone forgot about.
Brittle bones broke our
butterfly wings, which were
once as beautiful as the past.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII{our hearts won't stop breaking}
They told us love never works.
Why didn't we listen?
and shivers racked our fingertips,
