Wings


I leave a trail of black shadows where I go
They’ve been eating at my back terrible and slow


But even I can no longer keep them at bay
And slowly the shadows take me away

They ripped off my skin and exposed my wings
Not beautiful white, but blacken bony things


The one who dirtied these wings was me alone
Still I scrub till my wings are not but bone


And finally my wings are no more
Instead ashes cover the floor
