Analysis of Sever



Twisted wings,
 A fallen feather,
In the center of,
Where good and evil sever,
 The halo dim,'
 Somewhat bent,
Answering to every,
Deciding moment,
Words mumble,
In the form of prayer,
Without response,
 Too numb to care,
 Torn gown,
 Golden rope,
Slighted faith,
Relentless hope,
Whispering angels,
Heavens gate, so close,
To becoming a saint,
Now the call...,
The call grows faint,
As thorns combined,
With the beauty of the rose,
The concious suffers,
With what it knows.................BAD-Mc..<3
