The Angel's Letter

The Angel's Letter

A Poem by Aehr

Dearest Devil, you know that this could never be
We are separated, torn apart, and that's destiny
You know I have loved you from the orifice of time
From the day I learned about you, that day so sublime
I remember your burnt skin, your scars and your eyes
How for me, you fought all the darkness, all the lies
How my presence alone pained you, how you fought it for me
How you loved me more than ever, even though you were not free
Oh my beloved devil you are not dark from inside
You simply seek refuge, a place for you to hide
A place for you to hide from the mistakes that you've made
The scraped wounds to which you have never received aid
But my love, you know that this could never be
We are separated, torn apart, and that's destiny
While I am dawn, clothed in light, shining bright;
You are dusk, melting slowly into the canvas of the night
With this final tear I'm leaving, and I yearn for your voice
I wish I didn't have to, but I have no other choice
Oh my beloved devil, I must leave, but you, I will always love
I must go back to heaven with the other angels above

I wonder why we are so often drawn to what we cannot have? This poem speaks to that well.

I like the parallels in this forbidden relationship - they would actually make a good couple I think, completing each other... You imparted the emotion well!
