The Angel's Heart

One day an angel fell,
From her perch,
And onto a place like Hell,
A place called Earth.

While there she found a man,
Whom she cared about,
But love between angel and human,
It was not allowed.

So the angel, in despair,
Went to a young demon,
And tore off a wing beyond repair,
To become a human.

This angel searched for her dear,
The man that held her heart.
The one she wanted to be near,
Now that she had a new life to start.

But he found another woman,
Another girl in another town.
The angel now turned human,
Then shed her tears without a sound.

She cried, �O pray forgive me,
For I was foolish and young.
I finally have come to see,
The human heart weighs a ton.�

She fell to her knees,
And cried without hope,
The human she wanted to be,
Had her heart hung with rope.

In the depths of her despair came a light,
A man who held her near,
Who told her it was alright,
And wiped away her tears.

Now the angel smiles again,
She laughs and cries and smiles so wide,
Because a man wiped away her sin,
And saved her from being lost in grief�s tide.
