My Angel

You taught me my very first steps..

Held my hand and caught me when I fell..

 You were my hope,my inspiration…

The face that love took in my life..

 

In your arms I felt the world was mine..

And I was the reigning queen..

 

In your smile I saw mine resonate..

Your face beheld my universe..

 

With you around I took my leap of faith..

Cause faith required no effort ..

Happiness was mine and that was all you let me know..

 

But then death cast its bloody hand..

And all that shattered in a split second..

Like a distant reverie..

And you couldn’t keep out  the truth and bitterness anymore..

You made living beautiful..

But now the sham stands exposed..

This is the dance with the King....but when death strikes... Everything stops. The deepest question is whether or not we will be able to dance again. The carefree voice turns into fear, wondering at how this could all have been a lie. You end off with that--nothing more or less. I think it shows the depth of betrayal in a new way. Well done :)

An angel is such a beautiful way to put it. But like everything in like everything must come to an end. I love this piece.

i dont think you even touched on what you set out to say.....sometimes it will just hurt.

A beautiful piece about love and how it resonates in our work and lives on in our memories...but the ending is killer and leaves one feeling exposed and vulnerable...
