Angel With No Wings 12-9-08

you say I'm an angel with clipped wings,
here to save you.
when I'm really an angel with broken wings,
here for you to save me.

you say my wings are clipped,
but they're really broken.
you say you need my help,
but it is really me who needs help.

I can't lose you...
I need you...
they broke my wings completely off,
before they were hanging by a strand, still able to be healed...

but now they're gone...
the evil ones took my wings and ran...
and the nubs that are left are scarring over...
making me less if an angel and more human by the second...

I need you to get my wings back...
I need you to sew them back on and remove the scar tissue...
I need you...
I need your help...

so when I get my wings back,
I can help you.
I can help save you...
I can help.
