Eden Part 3

Her eyes fall upon a vision of heaven as she enters the room, walking a waltz The empty shell calls out to him, breaking the trance of this angelic creature Looking up, his attention focuses on the small trio from the hell on earth mankind has created The empty shell inquires a name A name? What is a name? How could such a being be labeled under a name? He whispers but a syllable and in that one syllable, the damned heard a chorus of angels calling to her The damned is frozen, under his gaze, her breath caught in her throat Just from a mere stare, does he know? Does he know the power he has over the damned? The ability to freeze one in time and space, stop atoms, and take the soul of the damned, but revive them as well? Their eyes connect once more, one last time. In that one connection she can see what this being hides from the rest of the world The hurt, the pain, the imperfection Her heart melts, as his lips curve up into a friendly smile, perfection in it's utmost form One of the most beautiful smiles she has ever been graced to see Like there was an art behind smiling so beautifully  But fate is cruel and unkind, within the few moments of happiness, the exchange of names The empty shell swallows the damned whole, dragging her along, and away One last glimpse of a flawless face One last time to feel alive She searched again after that, waiting at places, hoping to see even the slightest glimpse. Her angel who was not an angel was no more, there was no more light in her world If even for a moment Nothing can soar forever Everything has to crash She didn't just crash, she collapsed, she was destroyed She died She fell so hard the pieces would never fit together again She still searched, days, weeks She found him eventually, her angel His wings were ripped, broken and torn Instead of soaring like he had, he crashed straight to hell All she has is memories, the only thing to look back on, look forward to She knew that it was too good to be true Damned souls do not belong with angels who are not angels Hell is a lonely place Here on the earth I still walk alone just as lonely as ever And now I know I was never meant to be loved by someone as beautiful as you
