Angels
her smile warmed his heart. her touch healed his broken soul.
happiness was all he felt, her heart his ultimate goal.
but sadly she never seen him for what he truly was,
a fallen angel walking with broken wings.
with each touch, each glimpse,
each smell of her always made his aching heart sing.
they shared their stories, the good and the bad.
but eventually his love for her began to drive him mad.
why couldn't she him for what he truly was?
why couldn't she return his simple gesture of love?
how he longed to hear the sweet words pour from her mouth.
a simple 'i love you' would be just enough.
day after day he sat there, just admiring her for all she was,
enjoying every second that he got to spend with his destined love.
his heart ached his soul quaked all just to be in her presence.
to hold her, feel her, kiss her, inhaling her wonderful essence.
but they day finally drew near... the day he had constantly feared.
to her side he went and stayed never once leaving.
the hospital was cold and alone only the two of them breathing.
tears streamed down his face as he held her weakening hand.
he knew that it would come to this, he began to understand.
in her last moments she opened her eyes, and seen his real form.
a smile swept across her face and his heart was suddenly warm.
with her last few breaths she spoke," you're my angel aren't you?"
he nodded and as she began to choke. " you're so beautiful... thank you."
he held back his tears as she closed her eyes whispering a simple...
"I love You..."
