Please Scroll Down For Angel of Mine, I Miss You

My Heart Will Always Hold You

 

My body trembles tears from my soul,

waking up this morning cold.

Aghast after the past night,

opening my eyes to the daylight.

I feel them watering small ponds,

again and again as my heart responds,

knowing you cry the same ones.

 

Reminiscing last night,

the words I said without sunlight,

allowing my anger, my fear to overwhelm me.

Regrets fill my soul, horribly stinging my body.

I realize everything clearly this day,

tears flow down wishing they were gay.

Self forgiveness I will always betray.

 

You had no choice.

Tears run down your face, jading your voice,

hoping I understand, hoping for a hand.

Tearing you up instead, bleeding your heart unplanned.

Showing clouded colors that shed from my soul,

piercing you too deep, never thought to behold.

My temper devoured the true light, having no control.

 

Rapid suffocating breaths wheeze out,

recalling my reaction, a masked blowout.

Turning everything sour, crushing your heart.

Selfishly mashing heartless words against your rampart.

They bleed through, destroying your image of me.

An image true, left to boil in a molten lava stream.

I don't deserve the beauty of your soul; forbidden dream.

 

My face frowns in a seemingly permanent state,

learning a valuable lesson, leaning to walk off the eight.

A lesson gained in exchange for the love of my life,

having more to learn than you do, a constant self strife.

How can you forgive me, if I can't forgive myself, so true.

Soon you will sail away into the sea, through rippling waves blue,

hoping you still hold my heart, because it will always hold you.

Angel of Mine

 

Angel of mine,

A gift from God.

Flesh and bone.

Soul heavenly thawed.

 

Angel of mine,

Now inside my heart.

Never to leave.

Even if we're apart.

 

Angel of mine,

Found my true light

Glowing warm from within

For her so bright.

 

Angel of mine,

Gave me hope.

Wiped her tears,

Helped her cope.

 

Angel of mine,

Hurts deep inside.

I wrapped my arms

Around her they tied.

 

Angel of mine,

Her love I bless.

Sacred touch.

Her heart I caress.

 

Angel of mine,

Devoured my fears.

Filled that void.

Kissed my tears.

 

Angel of mine,

She is my water.

Essence of life.

Her love forever.

I Miss You

 

Tears fall and splat on hardwood floor,

thinking of you always, my head sways.

Today was empty without you.

My heart feels your pull more on weekdays.

 

More tears fall, sliding down my face,

along my nose running heavily.

Your words comfort and wrap me whole,

knowing you truly understand me.

 

Your heart, the most beautiful gift,

truly loves mine as they entwine.

Warmly hugging with arms of love,

arms of our hearts sharing their sunshine.

 

You sleep tonight, tear-dried eyelids.

dreaming of holding me, sweet and true.

Your cheek feels the touch of my hand.

My eyes gleaming soul rays into you.

 

My heart pours a fresh sea for you.

My heart calls in the language of love.

My heart reaches far across the land.

I miss you, my angel from above.
