A friend of mine once said
We all have our angels
I asked him what he meant
And this is what he said

Your angel is your one
Who you want quite deeply
Who you love the most
Yet who does not love you

Sometimes angels become
Lover, girlfriend or spouse
That is where he finished
And told me of his own

I will not tell that tale
For it is his to tell
Long and dark is it
His journey into hell

Yet of my own
I will say this
And a wee bit more
If you will desist

My angel, she is dark
Intelligent and strange
Black hair, shifting eyes
Perfect average weight

She has these dreadful dreams
Which keep her awake
In which all that she loves
Dies a dreadful death

She kicks and breaks walls
When the dream does take her
And I hope to give her comfort
When the dream does take her

For when we shared a night
She seemed more at peace
When shes in my arms
She seems more at ease

She is strong for herself
When among her peers
Yet against her very own blood
No courage does she have

Smart and caring, you see
But does not let it show
Not Christian in her soul
But then, nor am I so

She dresses all in black
And blue denim as well
She tickles and she bites
And throws a pillow at you

She writes darker than I
And writes better too
I see myself in her
But a little more extreme

She is my dark angel
And I love her so
Though she is quite strange
I never want to let go
