Once
I could fly
And go so high

My wings
So beautiful
And yet so delicate

But then
I let him
Get to close

And
When my back
Was turned

He ripped
Them out
With his cruel fingers

The pain
Was unlike
Anything I had ever felt

I turned
To ask him why
But he was no longer there

My shattered heart
And broken wings
Were all I had

Liquid crystal
Fell from
My eyes

And
Liquid rubies
Fell down my back
