Escaped from God's dethroned Angel.

I sit on the bench,
A bench built upon the past
Rolling films
Appear in the far right side of my sight
I sit in fright
Drowning in the tears
That's built a dam in my heart
From the years of being apart
From what I can't call myself
But the desire I want to be.

The wind nudges at me
The trees say, "turn and look"
"It's just a fluke,"
Murmurs the gremlin
that has settled in the bottom of my heart.
All around me telling to look up,
But the blood running in a trance.
Pacin' back and forth.
Twittlin' his thumbs.
The pigtails and ribbons
He once wore upon his head.

Drifts off,
And sails away
In the distance I can see
Sharp cheek bones
Burning eyes
And ash for hair
With two bones
Sitting upon the ashes.

He starts running,
A charging bull
Craving it's pray
I look to the right
And I see a glimmering arrow
Glowing in the sun the trees allow
And to the left
He forces two hands upon me
My feet fly in the air
My back's pulled down
And I fall
Off the bench.

I slightly sit up
And see...

In the chest,
The arrow stands
He looks at his hands
Flesh filling his palms
He gives out a wail
To gods dethroned angel.


The author's comments:
This piece seemed to come so easily to me. I feel like everyone can relate to this poem. This poem is about anything negative or just plain bad living inside of you, and you have no escape. The only way to truly to get rid of the devil is to turn to God. This poem is a metaphoric story of how a girl living in the devil turns to God and destroys all the negative things in her life. I hope you love this piece as much as I do.
