Torn Angel - For gabriella :-)

I saw an angel,
Torn in flight,
Between the life it had,
And the life it might.

The reaper approaches,
Sensing the strain,
So eager to drink up
My angels pain.

I cause a distraction,
I scream and i shout,
I'm no match for an angel,
The jury is out.

The halo is wilted,
The wings are all torn,
The reaper advanced,
Exploding with scorn.

The angels eyes jaded,
Soars into the sky,
Buit glances back only,
To whisper goodbye.
