Dusk enters into day,
Extinguishing all light.
And there your body lays,
Quiet and unmoving.
.
Your beautiful eyes brighter than any moon,
Your smile warmer than any sun.
I dream of you every night,
In an everlasting untouched utopia.
.
This despondent hope of mine,
Fails every time you walk past without a word.
And I'm left with only the smell of your hair,
And the sad eyes watching you fade in the distance.
.
My love for you could never be taken away,
No food or drink could ever replenish the feelings that I have for you.
This love is like a malady,
And there is no cure.
.
Your benevolent personality takes me away,
And I spread my wings to fly.
But I have no wings,
And so I stay.
.
I inhale you like my oxygen,
And when I see you there is nobody else.
And when I exhale,
You are gone.
.
I wish to protect you,
To take you away from evil's barrier.
I wish for you to come away with me,
And leave behind everything for something new.
.
If only I had the wings of an angel,
I could take you up on my wings and fly off.
And if you would come with me,
We would soar forever in the heavens.
.
But I am no angel,
These wings are not made of beautiful feathers.
But of stone and rock,
That hold me away from you and your open heart.
.
If I could be your guardian angel,
I would watch over you endlessly.
If I were an angel,
I would keep your love always.
.
But I am no angel,
This heart of mine is not made of stone and rock.
But out of stitches and dried blood,
From losing you when I could have held onto you.
.
I am no guardian angel.
I am no angel.
I have no heart of gold.
But I still love you.
