Even the Angels Wept

Even the Angels wept




As I walked amidst stars 
to find my glitter fade into their twinkle,
With my dears I was at war
loneliness reflected in my wrinkles,
Few smiles in darkness if life could sprinkle ..

Heyday of life and many promises unkept,
To knocks of heaven, even the Angels wept.
