Angels in the dark

Tired of those angels 
falling in the dark, 
broken, twisted wings, 
driving old cars...
what is the metaphor 
to describe a star? 
my pendant is not as red 
as my heart...

Am I too knotty? 
no one cares. 
I don't wear heels 
nor walk on eggshells...
sometimes I fall asleep 
on top of my hair...
I cross the lake in one leap— 
no need for a prayer.

If you didn't see it before
not sure if you'll see it now
on the wall there is a clock
making a weird sound
there was a growing tree
chopped to the ground
and a young princess in a train
who lost her crown.
