Fragile Wings.
December 15, 2014
I posses all the feelings to drag myself back
to you, but I can’t seem to build up the courage
to let you in again.
I was fragile, scared and fallen. Afraid to spread my
wings again. When I broke my walls down to let
you in, you plucked the soft, delicate feathers that
made up my conscience; one by one.
Shivers run down my spine just thinking of
how close I let you get to break me down.
Destroying the only thing that made me
feel safe.
My ability to fly-torn.
The only affection I had now remains
only in the form of a dark, bruised scar
in between my shoulder blades.

Oh, wow. Pssh, posh my applesauce. This is absolutely, breath-taking and just beautiful. It's just filled with beauty and emotion and descriptiveness. And movement. It's just beautiful. Because this is how I sometimes feel too. This is one of favorite favorites. You are an amazing and wonderful and talented and beautiful writer person, filled with talent and greatness and light and beauty; and so much more. Thank you so much, my friend! For sharing this. :) I look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you, again. :)
The inspiration I gathered for this piece came from the Fallen series. The idea of a fragile, fallen angel desperately wanting to love when only to be left heartbroken each time he/she feels the need to express affection, just pulls on my inner senses.
