The Fallen Date: Tuesday, 2nd January 2007 @ 11:04:06 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: artjunkiekyle You broke me down and I picked the pieces. A mended heart now crumbling. I exhibit the maturity, yet I'm treated like a child Choked out of a life I deserve, I settle for mediocrity. I am nothing more than a kid dressed in dreams. I once was so naive in thinking you could care for meand create with me a place to call home. Instead I'll run away, escape to my fate and call it home. I don't need you as I once thought I did. How could I have ever thought you cared? You broke me down so I was left to pick up the pieces . . . How could I buy into thinking that you were my guardian angel? Your wings are as black as the crow perched on your shoulder. You hugged me through tumultuous times. You lied to me and hurt me. I will not give in. Your darkness envelopes, still my beaconof hope will not falter. I've suddenly realized- YOU are the fallen.
