an angel's wings 

an angel has so many secrets
and her wings can only carry her so high
every once in a while she'll slip
and then follow with a dark and whispered lie

she thinks the lie will ease the pain
and so she'll plead to her original tale
then, realizing the truth will be uncovered
she cries in her mind and turns to shale

splintering and falling apart
knowing she is wrong
she lives with her guilt for eternity
knowing she is wrong
