everything you clung to,

everything you leaned upon.

every dream from the deepest parts of your heart

and your soul.

 

you invested in this

every breath from your

chest, you gave up,

just to give something else ,

a chance at life.
there has to be more than this

 

than this silence that i am left in all the time,

to torment myself with.

because those three velvet words

spoken ever so softly

on angel lips

could be instantly revoked.

banishing me from the gates of heaven,

and with my descent

my angel,

and he greedily eats it himself.

in just one bite.

leaving me ruined, cold, alone,

and always

always
