Disturbing,
Haunting,
Watching her shed her wings.

The elegance,
The sorrow,
The cause unknown.

The secret smile
Sliding across her face.
The pain showing
Deep in her eyes.

I watch the angel
As she sheds what makes her,
Her.

Her white garments slide from her body,
Her skin perfectly bronzed.

A dark cloud sheds rain,
The wet darkening her auburn hair.

That smile becoming broader.
Changing into a grin.

A silvery laugh
Sprinkling the air.

Words that strike my heart,

“I love you, so I am leaving…”
