Of angels.

The stars shine and I shine along

And the sun turns away

Night Comes

And I

Come along

To find

You tucked away

Inside the sober end

To a drunk day

Turning to residue

And to damp debris

From the fall out

Of slurred honesty

Of words that forgot to lie

Love breathes

And I breathe along

And you breathe me in

Till you have your fill

And you rise

And you rise

With the rain

Your rise up

And I rise along

And you touch the rain

You let it seep

Seep through your skin

And you feel like

An angel again

Your wings spread

And I spread along

Your eyes burn

And I burn along

But your smile…

Your smile maims

Me.

I stop to watch

Watch you preen

Preen and take a bow

Thunder roars

And I roar along

But you listen to neither anymore

You float and you fly

You catch every eye

You shine and you glow and you soar

Your halo falls

And I fall along.

And I watch you drift away.
