Fallen Angel

With her fall from grace
She stands all alone in this place
With ebony tears falling down her face

With lighting streaking across the sky
She hangs her head to cry
Broken and alone she wonders 'Why do I try'

No one cares if I live or die
Maybe tonight is the night I die.

Closer to the rivers edge
Her soul teeters on the ledge

No will to live
with nothing more to give

She closes her eyes
and takes a deep sigh

But as she's ready to take the jump
The wind blows and she feels a slight bump

It's a crimson red rose
As she picks it up, she realizes the future it holds

A fallen angel she may be
But Gods love will always be!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
