Angel in the sky

Angel in the sky,
How you long to fly,
With your wings of torn feathers,
Dripping blood from your soul.

Wondering how long you've known,
How long you pushed and fought,
Seeing you've been in this silky web too long,
Trapped, caught.

The release is too quick,
As expected as it is,
Long overdue,
Paid with your youth, your innocence.

Angel in the sky,
How you long to fly.
But with broken wings,
Too impossible it seems.
