She flies with
broken wings..
Rare is it to see
an angel..
So filled
with despair..
Rare is it to see
an angel..
So lost between
this world
And the
spirits world..
Her heart is broken..
So she wanders..
this earth..
Flies through
the air..
Trying to remember
Why her chest feels
so heavy..
Why her wings
can barely
fly with the weight..
The weight of her
heavy heart..
She never really
had a chance..
To find
love
life
laughter
romance.
She roams the earth
looking..
For the love she
so craves..
Looking for anyone
who can
see beauty
in her disheveled way.
She is filled with light...
Yet consumed with pain..
She still seeks
the love of a family.
She wants the love of
her dreams..
She never had
time in life
to find these ..
She was
suddenly called home..
She was not
ready to go..
Now she is a
Run away angel..
On this earth
All alone..
Broken angel..
Broken heavy heart..
Looking for something
lost..
Like a child in the
dark..
Holding her hands out..
Waiting to feel a
human soul..
She cannot find any ..
Just like in life
She was always alone..
Never belonging
anywhere..
Someplace in between..
This seems to be her life..
For all eternity..
Left in between..
Runaway angel..
No place to go..
Run away angel..
Trying to find home.
Run away angel..
Trying to reach into
Stone cold souls.
