Angels don't Cry

My second poem on characters of the DN Angel cast. This one is focused on our white winged friend, Krad. It focuses on his POV as well as that of people who know him, but also of a side of him that people never knew about…Please enjoy and, if you want, read my first poem A Light in the Dark about Emiko. R&R please?

Chapter 1: Black and White

A lone angel,

Unaccompanied in the sky,

Forsaken by others of his kind,

Different from the singing, heavenly choir,

Different from what he is judged to be,

For they say,

Don't judge a book by its cover,

Or surprises will await you inside,

This angel you see,

Is not what he appears to be,

Not as pure as you think,

Not as clear as ice in the rink,

Forever flying alone,

His heart a place where the sun never shone,

Shunned by everyone he knows,

Exposure to hatred breeds personal hatred,

Hatred, with fear mixed inside,

Fear of the whole outside,

Fear of the worst feeling ever,

For being loathed is not the worst,

It is to feel unwanted,

To be alone and never accepted again,

Never needed by no-one,

To be someone, who does not need to be known.

Some things are best kept secret,

Some things best not known,

Some deeds, that shouldn't be done,

Deeds better left alone by an angel,

Deeds forbidden to those,

The deeds of the unforgivable, to angel kind,

Broken, by this single angel,

An angel made from art,

An angel with another half,

Two halves of a whole, they say,

But is it as simple as black and white?

Or may there be different shades of grey?
