Fallen Angel

There was a girl She loved and laughed She was one of God's angels Her smile could light up the dark Her heart was pure and trusting She didn't know pain or heartache Her wings were wide and flowing Like downy feathers of a chick And her halo was untarnished And it had never been bent She believed in nothing but happiness Her beautiful eyes had never cried And others looked upon her With love, laughter, and hope The little girl was broken Someone shattered her crystal world And as glass confetti rained down She realized she was torn Her wings had been broken And they were covered in her blood For her body had been violated And she was innocent no more Her halo lay at her feet Bent sorrowfully in half And she looked up to heaven And heard a pitiful laugh The little girl cried endlessly She couldn't fix her wings To fly up and sing with the angels Was all she had wished to do But because she was broken It became all to clear That little girl, she died that day And I am what remains A fallen angel
