Fractured Wings by *IrrevocableFate:iconIrrevocableFate:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


I bandaged my wings in discarded cocoons,
and pasted sparrow feathers on my arms,
in hopes they would last until the dawn.

Fallen angels don't have to work too hard
To break down your hopes or to
tear off your useless wings
After you were done with the surgery
After I've stitched myself together.

I knew I'd never be the same again,
as hand-sewn angels who tumble
trying to grasp at the sunrise,
don't have very long to live.

I never meant to fall apart
Or tear you down with me
There's no more darkness in the light
No more time left to fight;
It's time to say goodbye.

That's absolutely beautiful. It's almost Imagist, the way it gives such a vivid image in such few words. I love the bit about "hand-sewn angels", it's such an interesting concept.

Quick question:

What were you thinking about when you wrote the first line?

One is not to get your hearts desire.
The other is to get it."

So beautiful, I really like it

So be brave when all else fails to succeed.
When the lights go out and the battle is not done,
Take a deep breath, be strong, and take heed,
For a brave hero lies in everyone.

This is gorgeous :)
The title reminds me of the song 'Broken hearts and torn-up letters' by Lostprophets.
I listened to that a lot after my first breakup... Fun times...

This comment's spiralled into a random thought that's completely unrelated to the poem. Sorry!
