Though it's twilight,
the dark seems so thick.
With shadows on the walls,
Playing scenes like a movie,
All memories on display.
Screams break the silence,
As chains rattle on bricks.
Feathers float in the distance,
And blood stains the hall.
Ashes consuming
Where fire once raged.
Once again,
Bound and caged.
Fading from sight,
Is nothing worth this fight?
Locked in darkness,
Chained by her pain,
Bound to the earth,
Her wings tattered and torn.
She hears footsteps in the distance
Shivering in remembrance,
of the pain once endured,
A Shattered existence
Of an Angel gone ignored.
The footsteps draw closer,
A shadow appears,
Somehow she's forgetting all her fears.
No words spoken,
He helps her to her feet.
Steadying her gently,
He wraps her in his arms.
With the release of her bonds
So close at hand
He looked in her eyes
And whispers to her soul,
"You're My Smokey Angel,
I've taken your heart into my own,
and I'll never let you go"
Rising from the ashes,
Like a Phoenix taking flight,
Her wings spread wide
Showing the world the beauty they tried to hide.

Haunting nightmares
of feelings in scenes
Visions of love everlasting
that will never be seen
Hands that hold
Lips that heal
Words spoken in silence
From a heart that cannot heal
Blinding pain
comes with each breath
Each touch makes me wish for death
Love is my myth
A dream shattered
Close my eyes
takes my breath
Every action
never means a thing
Holding me hostage
the nightmares are true
Nobody can see me
Not even you.
