Angel

The angel opens her eyes
to see a world worthy of despise
she takes a deep breath
we're all equal to death
"when did this happen?" she thinks
she cries softly as her heart sinks
her eyes close and open again
one last teardrop reaches for her chin
in a deepening effort she looks closer
searching for one good sight to touch her
something so she can say it's worth it
to make her feel better, if just a little bit
she sees a dimly lit park at sunset
on a bench, two people just met
talking of this chance encounter
then of him and again of her
its midnight now, and all is well
the angel's found her innocence in this world of hell
the future was promising for the two that night
content, the angel takes flight
convinced there is yet some goodness
the two embrace and share a kiss.
