Listen to poem:
Her Fallen Halo
This fallen halo trundles on way down the road
Leaving in its wake, the ray of sparks bestowed
Had she even noticed the glow above her head
Now parted from her, no longer lit, its life shed
She's left running into the darkness on her own
Leaving behind everything she has ever known
I pocket the disregarded halo, as mine to claim
Until one day I find its owner to merit my name
So, I can replace the halo back above her head
Maybe tarry on her for a while and on her wed
Carry the burden of her shame; as I will not fail
With no one as to be the wiser of her sorry tale
Keep this once tarnished halo lit upon her head
The secret of its downfall, never ever to be said
Never ever be said . . .
Never ever be said . . .
