Shadowed Angel

I lay on this bed

With an empty space beside my head

My face is wet but it's not raining

The sky is black but it's not night

I feel his arms wrap around me

Even if it's just a dream

I still believe

I still believe he is here with me

If i close my eyes I can hear him breathe

 And if I strain

I can hear his heartbeat 

I can smell the shampoo in his damp hair

And if I concentrate hard enough

I can see him over there

The shadow in the corner

With the wings of an angel

And as I step closer

I see the glint in its eyes

This isn't just any angel

This angel is mine

I reach but don't touch

Frozen in time

"He is mine. He is mine.

And never will I let go again"

But I let go of his hand

I let him slip like he was made of sand

"Come back to me"

He is gone but it can't be

He was just here standing in front of me

I still love him even when he leaves

I still love the shadow that he weaves

Because a shadow never stays for long

Goodbye

My shadowed angel
