Angel With No Wings

The angel's wings perish,
Shanghaied by a hellish fiend.
Now she's left stuck, abandoned.
Alone in a strange new world.

What a gruesome chance,
To be an angel with lost wings.
No more bells will be rung
On behalf of this sprite

She scours the earth,
In search for any care.
Forsaken by the gods,
The light turns to spite.

Benevolence is taken over,
By hatred and scorn.
All hope is now gone.
The angel is no more.

Abysmal life is eternal,
For this solitary cherub.
A desolate fate,
Is this souls forthcoming.

Shaped by envy and fury,
Confinement is her only desire.
Solitude with a peaceful silence,
To be alone with her thoughts.

She now ponders her past,
Of how this came to be.
Her greatest ally,
Was turned to foe.

Life will never again return
To the way it was before.
Betrayal ruined this being.
Never again will the same mistake be made.

Take this as you will,
But heed my warning,
Beware of your faith and your trust,
Or your wings may just depart,
Leaving you broken.
Broken and discarded.
Like an angel without her wings.
