Beating Wings Of The Lonely.

Fire burns through my veins,
Ice surrounds my heart,
A scream escapes my lips,
And the earth trembles beneath my feet.

Shadows follow my every move,
And dark creatures watch and wait.
The fallen beat their impatient wings,
And laugh their unholy laugh.

My eyes bleed salty tears,
My skin weeps fearless blood,
I stand tall above all destruction,
Breathing in the sulphur of despair.

Blackened claws reach out,
Cold whispers swell and surround me,
Darkened figures move and sway,
The beat of wings erupts.

I'm falling backward,
My arms are flailing,
Spinning out of control,
Falling back into non-existence.

Screeches follow me down,
With the beat of wings,
Jagged claws reach for me,
And cut into my skin.

As I fall, I feel cold wind,
Whirl around myself,
Falling forever,
Oh Goddess aid me.

At the last forsaken minute,
A white winged angel grabs at me,
Pulling me up, toward salvation,
Toward the silvery light of the moon.

His wings beat a steady rhythm,
Till we are above the clouds,
His blond hair, and white wings,
Seem silver in the lunar light.

To a dormant volcano he took me,
We land in silence,
I was sure I'd die,
And had cursed the world,

Now I'm saved an angel,
His clear blue eyes watching,
His face hansom and cold,
He watched me as I trembled.

The wind picked up,
The rain fell,
Thunder shuck the world,
Lighting ripped apart the sky.

"Damned are we all to walk this life,
Alone, unloved, and dead.
I'll fly alone no more,
For if you fly beside me.

You'll be saved, and I'll be loved.
You'll be here and I'll be alive,
You'll be mine, and I'll be yours,
What do you say oh forsaken one?"

What could one say to an angel?
That walked the earth alone?
No was not an answer,
And yes was not enough.

So I walked toward him,
His eyes watching,
My eyes shutting,
Our lips meeting.

I'm no longer forsaken,
He is no longer alone,
By chance he saw me falling,
And saved my damned soul.

Love till you breath no more,
Live till your heart stops beating,
You're not alone as long as,
Your angel stands behind you.

And you're not damned as long you are living.
And you're not damned as long as you are loved.

Your angel stands behind you.
Now and forever more, xxx
