Angel heart

Once I saw a beautiful woman

open her wings and fly

Then I saw her blackened heart

Shrivel up and die.

Eyes lost in the wilderness

I could not bring her back

Everyday she whipped herself

To gain a life of lack.

And all she ever needed

To gently pull her through

Were arms coiled close around her

And those words - I Love You

As she rose, I watched her

Dissapear into a light

Bent double, I bore her pain

Into my own dark night.

For we who live can barely say

We've touched anothers heart

And Angels cannot bear the pain

We suffer when we part.
