Halo Statue

You look at me
Like I am hiding
An angel underneath
My skin but
I am no heaven born
Creature
Playing peek a boo
Between my fingertips

I wore the brightness
Off innocence a long
Time ago and I
Put myself into
Your hands with no
Sense of shame

Take me as you
See me
Broken and tarnished
Lifting my eyes
While bowing my head
You can have me
At your bidding
As long as you
Remember one thing

I am a slave
To earth and all
Contained within so
Look at me with care
Lest you fall
