Plinthless Angel - Janinka Diverio

You've gone again
And this time I will let you
My heart drained
Left full with pain
Endless - too tired now to hold on
I let go
And succumb to
Drowning in my own tears all night
Under a growing moon
Into the morning bright

Resigned, defeated
Your protests, reasons
Too much this time for me to take
You crave a shackleless heart you say
Yet a heart half full is
Black, black, black
Under a moonless sky

Awake from no sleep
Into the still of a Sunday dawn
Dismayed, bereft
Your fallen, plinthless angel
With damaged wings
Will let you see
Walk far away now
Walk far away from me
