Into the face of an Angel
I
Picked up your
Picture
And for a moment...
just one moment it seemed like
You were still here...
just one a long trip
But the fists of reality smacked as hard as they ever have
Sending into the darkness that lies beneath
All of us
It seemed like I would be
Stuck in this hole for
Eternity
The darkness swallowing any and all hope I could have or did have locked in my
Heart
The days seemed longer
With no light or ray of joy
There was no way to decipher
The days
I was consumed by my
Inner unwillingness
The dark monster reaching their long claws out for me to grab hold of
My heart had turned into stone
And it was no longer in my chest
It was almost in the hands of the demons that joined me so often
But then one day
A light broke all the demons and monsters
Sank back into their hate and turmoil
And your face was their amongst
The clouds and flutter of wings with bursts of sunlight
I was looking into the face of an angel and the angle was...
you
again...
