Tainted Wings

Dear  Love,

What is it with Fate? Does she not know that its a sin to seperate what God has made as one?

How can she be so cruel as to split us into two and curse us to roam Earth forever until we find each other?

Even if I've found her, she does not recognize me anymore.

Her eyes are different, her voice which used to duet with me as I serenaded her is no longer the same.

She does not love me as she did before.

Her heart is bound is chains, her dreams are of darkness.

I swear upon my life that I shall free my princess from your cruelty O Fate.

For even as I fight this solitude alone, I know that Love has not forgotten me.

It is the same flame of Love which burned ten thousand years ago between my princess and I.

Winter boasts of its cold harsh winds, but I stand tall.

I do not shiver, my hands remain clenched as in prayer, my feet though all bruised with frost bites, does not give way to pain.

I know not what is the meaning of giving up.

For a moment without my heart's desired one, is far worse than a thousand years in this cold harsh winter.

Even so, Fate has another trump card.

I could wait forever, as I have promised my dearest one.

But my heart would not last until then.

The feathers of my wings have started to fall, it won't be long until the last one falls off.

I can defy the heavens and the order of the angels for her.

I rather be a mortal and live a quiet life with her in a simple hut.

What is paradise, if she were not there to keep me company?

This halo has ceased to shine as it used to, what use is a dimmed halo to an angel?

Dearest princess,

Do you know why I call you every night despite you not knowing who I really am?

I do not have much time left.

Even so, I'd like to listen to your voice every night before the day I die.

They say two halves make a whole, but you are my all.

You are so beautiful to me, even the stars stop their never ending dance, just to adore you and see the sparkle in your eyes.

You told me that you never had a sweet dream before.

That all you see when you're asleep are darkness and nightmares.

Have you forgotten who chased away the darkness for you the first time you went on your mission?

Darkness enveloped itself around you, coldness seemed to encircle you and fear was in the air.

You cried when you could not see any light, for an angel cannot return home without light as a guide to heaven.

That was the first time we met, when I appeared out of nowhere and shined brightly in the darkness.

I held you close to my heating heart and you cried your heart out.

You were so scared, you thought you could never come home to Paradise.

But I guess you've already forgotten about it all.

I am but a nobody in your eyes now.

My wings no longer spread out.

I no longer wish to soar in the sky.

For I can only silently count down the remaining days to my end.

Do grant my last wish princess.

Please bestow upon me the kiss of death just before this wounded heart breaks.

Ps: I'll love you always, in times of joy, in times of sorrow, in life and death.
