one little angel

stood too tall

one little angel

took a great fall

his wings caught on wires

his grace marred with scars

one little angel fell too far



one little angel

made a mistake

one little angel's

feathers all ached

he asked but one thing

and he was locked out

one little angel wallowed in doubt



one little angel

picked himself up

one little angel

said, "that's enough"

to Hell with his grace

love wasn't a waste

one little angel let his bones break
