I Have Wings

I have wings
With feathers white
Into the sky
I'll take my flight

Soaring above
Like eagles do
Looking around
Just finding you

I have wings
They flap away
Into the blue
With clouds so grey

The wind lifts
Me up in the air
I look but you
Aren't anywhere

I have wings
Powerfully built
Yet they can't conceal
My inner guilt

I finally spot
And see you there
Walking the hills
With feet so bare

I have wings
That lowered me down
I took a step
On solid ground

Taking your bow
Readying a quiver
You took aim
Sending the shivers

I have wings
So widely spread
I looked at you
With utter dread

The arrow came screaming
A piercing shriek
You shot me down
You left me weak

I have wings
Crimsoned with blood
Tainted by hate
Dirtied by mud

I sat down
With tears that cry
I kept on asking
Why, oh why...?

I had wings
That are no more
Useless they can
No longer soar
