Fallen Gold

Once upon a time there was an angel

Who’s head rested in heaven

She laughed and danced on clouds

Thankful for all she’d been given

Once upon a time there was an angel

Who’s eyes looked down below

To see a boy so heavenly

He gave off his own golden glow

Once upon a time there was an angel

Who fell from heaven above

Her wings ripped from her back

Like the perished life of a dove

Once upon a time there was a fallen angel

Who met with the golden boy

She thought the loss of her own halo

Didn’t matter when compared to this joy

Once upon a time there was a fallen angel

Who brushed her hand through his golden hair

Which then drew back in blood

Because of the horns that’d been there

Once upon a time there was a fallen angel

Who thought, on earth, heaven lay

Naïve, she saw an angel instead of a boy

Deceived, she saw light instead of decay

Once upon a time there was a girl

Who had no golden halo around her head

All to show for this great loss

Was a simple wish to be dead

Now be warned of golden boys

Who like to spin their golden lies

Or else wind up a fallen girl

Whom, with heaven, has fallen ties
