Angels?
Those are for the Worthy
Those are for the Saints
Those are for the Innocent

Not here
Not me
Not anymore

A child? Maybe
A lamb? Possible
A diamond? Perfect

The halo isn't straight anymore
But it's okay
I don't mind
I don't need it
Do i?

Maybe not
Who does?
I'm not perfect
The light doesn't shine here anymore
But i'll be alright
I can't promise
Because promises aren't suppose to be broken
And i know i'll break it

Call me guilty
Maybe i am
No one really knows
The price was never paid

The regrets?
I have none
Do you?
Or are you just saying that?

I can't pretend
I'm no longer a child
No longer his little Angel
Because i'm not perfect
But at least
He knows now

I can't change
I won't change
No matter how hard i try
My wings?
They are broken
Just like my heart

He's not perfect
So i can't blame him
He didn't know
Who did?
Who does?

I cant keep secrets
So don't tell me any
Gifts?
Please don't
I can't accept them
Don't you know?

I'm not perfect...

This piece was written because sometimes we don't feel like we are forgiven, or that we can forgive ourselves. Sometimes we feel guilty...but no one is perfect.
