BROKEN PEDESTAL

She placed you way up high
On a golden pedestal
Cast against the sapphire sky
When the moon was full

She saw you so perfect
Without any mortal flaws
You were her sweet Angel--
Her gift from Love

Each moment spent together
Was a touch of paradise
True love they vowed forever
--Until last night

Lightning cracked the pedestal
Their fantasy fell through
And for the very first time
She saw what love could do

She saw past the illusions
As she watched you fall
You weren't her perfect Angel
Just a mortal after all.
