Fading Angel

Stumbling in the dark,
Shadows mar your eyes.
Each foot that finds the ground
Takes you by surprise.

Angel wings lie broken,
Hope begins to fade...
Your thoughts remain unspoken
As you stagger through the haze.

Fading, falling memories
Lock you up inside.
Jars of empty remedies
Give way to empty lies.

Shining spark of madness,
Silver slice of pain,
Wraps you up in sadness
And leaves your life to wane.

A fading shadow falls
Where sunlight once belonged.
Your voice, it softly calls
But no one hears your song.

Searching for a place
To guard and call your own.
Just waiting for a face
To teach you to be strong.

A face looked for in others,
As you scan the passing crowd
Of false friends and ex-lovers
Who beat you to the ground.

But the strength, it is inside you!
Hope is within your sight!
The beauty that you're blind to
Shines out true and bright.

Sure... Your angel wings need mending,
Your halo's all askew,
But I can see that angel
Still lives inside of you.

Looking, waiting, hoping
For a place where you belong.
In the end you'll find
You've been there all along.
