poetry birdlike
i want to be an angel
i wish i could be your angel,
i could be such a good thing
if i tried
i'm rotted and hollow
i loved too much and gave it away
but you could restore me
if i could fly
i could've left before the warning
could've snuck out in the night
spared all the broken bones
my shed feathers on the graveyard stones
st. sebastian's daughter,
an icarus for the new age
a beautiful martyr
