My Angel

I used to cower into the night,
run from the dark.
You were my light;
my one true love.
My angel.
I gave my heart to you,
you took my hands in yours.
We seemed to fly above the rest.
Just a little higher,
a little deeper,
a little darker.
Night fell around us,
the hush would fall.
We would lock our eyes,
and make promises we'd never keep.
Everything mattered,
nothing made sense.
We were already lost.
You were slowing falling.
I was slowly dying.
Everything was failing us.
Our promises shattered,
our love fractured,
I begged you to leave,
to return to the kingdom
where the light always shone.
I would find you again,
my dark angel,
my lover.
My everything.
When the mourning bell tolled,
I knew you were gone.
I hugged myself tight,
pressed the knife to my heart,
closed my eyes,
prayed to you.
Only you.
The light was dim,
darkened by longing.
I was fading,
dying,
smiling,
laughing.
Even crying.
My emotions were tattered.
But it wasn't worth it.
You weren't waiting.
My angel had betrayed me.
