Weeping Angels

Crying angels why do you weep?
Secrets of time you struggle to keep.
The ages before you watched in despair
your tears the remnants of unanswered prayer.
Faces of stone, unchanging and firm
so like lights in night reaffirm.
Frozen in time endless moments away
finally, at last, the one who went astray
Your fate he should share but he managed to hide
from the pain, the sorrow, the tears you once cried
Confined in the end in the cage of stone
the Man of Time with us but alone
