Not An Angel

Taken as a blessing - you,
Taken as a curse - me,
This difference is not new,
We've just neglected to see,

The paper-white sand we walked,
Smiles brighter than the sun,
The glow shared as we talked,
Hearts uniting to become one,

Memories forging with each kiss,
Tears of joy falling like rain,
Simple days I'll forever miss,
Stars that were ours to obtain,

But the wings were on your back,
The sky was yours to fly in,
Purity was something I lack,
I committed one terrible sin,

My wings vanished and I fell,
You rushed to grab my hand,
It's clear I am not an angel,
A truth I refuse to understand...
