Broken Angel

Broken Angel
Among the crowd of demons I saw an angel
Her face shown brightly within the darkness
I flew to her, to save her and for her to save me.
She disappeared, shrouded in darkness
I search and searched for her
Fighting away monsters while mine within me began to stir.
She emerged next to me but her wings were gray, her hair was frayed, grace small and eyes lost. I tried to free her from the rapids of malevolence, yet the more I pulled the more I sank. My wings began to gray, feathers darkening slowly but surely.
She looked up at me, her eyes filled with the last of her grace said one thing.
"I'm broken, leave me."
I loosened my grip.
As she began to slip away something hiding deep inside me rose like a geyser of flame.
I regained my grasp unwilling to release her, aware of my own descent.
Piercing the sky Heavens light shined down on me
The dark essence retreated back inside.
A voice from on high called me forth like a wayward son.
I watched as she slipped through my arms and was carried away by the hording masses.
I flew back up to Heaven.
The darkness inside me for now, locked away.
