My Angel's return

In my deepest love she awaits my return,

in her body she feels the coldness within.

No rest for my aching heart without her,

I am feeling the pain burning anguish inside.

She calls my name only when I am nowhere to be seen,

hiding from the very reasons for loving at all.

Each time I cry it is her face that I see,

wanting to end the suffering forced on her tonight.

Holding her head up high she faces the fear,

bestowed upon a heart so fragile and weak.

Unbecoming denial seeking lights burning out,

catching the fallen as my wings carry her home.

On a mountaintop colored in ashes of lost love,

I await the return of peace in her heart.

Listless lies leaving behind tomorrow,

killing this moment dying in today.

Sleeping eyes falling to the depths of love and light,

kissed by hope, touched by reality, brought back to life.
