When they came for me, she
cried
Said, the angels will sing for
you one day, her vision
Lost to teary eyes
​​
I scoffed, kicked out, shouted
That's a lie!!
Angels don't sing, all the
angels just die
Its just the hum of their wings
as they drop from the sky
All the angels are dead I
screamed, they are too dead
to fly

You're not, she whispered,
before the sobbing took hold,
before she fell on the ground
before the screams pushed
out sound

Years later
I finally understood, but
I couldn't take it back, or
Erase bad to good

They wouldn't let her keep me
I understand that now, and
Life didn't keep her...it
Lost her somehow

And still, the angels don't sing,
all the angels just die
They just keep on falling right
Out of that sky
