There once was a girl I used to know
I lost her three summers ago
To the wind, to the wood
It was there she once stood
Who Am I?

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
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
