I Dreamt of an Angel

The morning light breaks
And my eyes open wide
I feel the warmth of your body
As you lay by my side

I watch as you sleep
So peaceful and serene
Resembling an angel
Or similar being

Suddenly I'm aware
Of a feeling deep within
As a powerful desire
Starts to begin

Hit with these feeling
So quick that in fact
I barely had time
To even react

These feelings were strong
So true and spontaneous
And the love that I felt
Was almost instantaneous

A need for your presence
Comes from deep in my core
Uncontrollable emotions
Unlike ever before

A wanting for your touch
Burns inside me like fire
And a taste for your kiss
Full of passion and desire

But as I reach out to you
For an intimate embrace
You’re gone in an instant
Without even a trace





The morning light breaks
And my eyes are filled with tears
No longer feeling your warmth
After all of these years

I wake from my dream
Empty to the core
As my longing for you
Is now stronger than before

I know I'm unable
To believe the real truth
How you were taken from me
In the prime of loves youth

My discovery of these emotions
And its powerful force
Were never given the chance
To run its full course

Today I'll watch you sleeping
In this cold and lonely place
Where a granite marker now sits
With your name etched on its face

You've become now that angel
You resembled while you slept
And that vision of you
My minds always kept

The loneliness I feel
Is immeasurable and deep
As I stand next to your plot
And silently weep

But I'm thankful to have had you
For the time you were here
And the time we were together
I will always hold dear

Our moments will be treasured
For the rest of my days
As I try to exist
In this painful lonely haze

So sleep well my little angel
Until it’s time for me too
And they will lay me to rest
Right here next to you
