She Flew Away

The gentle air, what lift thy heavy wing,

gave way to silver blade my hand once 'quipped.

Torn from limb thy feather fell,

stained upon my blood-red hand.

What flight I failed to see in thou,

before my rage which accursed me now.

See wound upon thy softest skin,

does burn my heart and soul.

Burdened forevermore;

Devils' hand may take my air,

nought ceased in lack reason.

I failed thee once, O angel fair.

Removed from heart, and pierced by Lilith's blade.

It be that price I pay and the suffering I bear.
