Broken Halo
My angel has a broken halo shattered on the ground.
Her innocence was ripped from her and heart ache profound.
Her hands are tied and bound.
She is dying inside of a broken spirit.
There is nothing now that can cure it.
No one seems to care about it.
Her broken halo is piece-by-piece, shattered and scattered.
Her face is drenched in tears and sopping wet with fears.
Her wings are malignant and beliefs incoherent.
She’s a broken symbol of a hurting child’s tremble.
She won’t leave what she’s been sent to retrieve.
She’s a dead cause to alcohol withdraws.
She’s as broken as her halo surviving in sorrow.
She lives in a shell so hollow!
I’m not in control.
I have no sole.
She lives in me that’s how I know.
She has a broken halo.
