An Angel Tonight 2 Poem by Austin Jones

And the Angel tonight
Looking down
At his young liege
Weeps
For he sees that
His young liege is
Broken
His young liege
Tries
But does not know how
He
Gives everything
All that he is
Offers himself
His heart
his soul
his mind
his body
but can never
never
be
he is lost
in his hope
in his dream
his wishes
pull him
ever faster
to self-destruction
and he
that young liege
cannot comprehend
despite all that he is
all that he has done
all of HIM
why he is not enough
he cannot comprehend
that liege
why
he
the Angel
sees
upon that barren earth
the cloth upon which his liege rests
that his liege
is weary
is hurt
is
broken
and he
this Angel
that being of light
crys out
in agony
for his liege
who
is
broken
