Broken Wings

My angel battered and bruised
wings too broken to fly.
Lives in her abusive world
trying hard so she won’t cry.

A childhood that’s lost in time
a child that’s lost in space.
All her emptiness and sorrow
makes her life really hard to face.

Pain that’s overwhelming
and shame that’s hard to hide.
A child who lost her innocence
before she was even five.

An ugly past is all she knows
no reason to want to live.
A childhood lost, dead and buried
also the life that was a kid.

Hopeless with no place to go
the truth will tell no lies.
A constant pain and gnawing ache
brings her wishes for her demise.

An angel with broken wings
is feeling trapped with no escape.
Revenge weighs heavy on her mind
and her memories keep her awake.

A battle fought the best she could
a war she knew was done.
But in the end she’s the one
who’s life has just begun.
