Wake

Delilah • 408 followers

Light fades,
Stars appear,
Evening angels
Gather here,
Here to bundle your
Broken soul off
As you succumb to sleep
Under linen cloth.
The windows are opened,
The mirrors all draped,
So into them
Your soul can't escape,
So as the stars rise
And your sun sets,
In the midst of your wake
Don't forget
That wherever you're going,
Wherever you choose,
My darling, I am
Coming with you.

I Miss You, Angel

Tragedy rests on the wind. Carried on cold breath. You're falling into my arms. Mere moments before kissing death. Unspoken, shallow words. Rest lightly on pale lips. Soundlessly falling to the floor.

Bereaved

I whisper. But you can hear me if you choose. I lift the broken leaves. That steal beneath your shoes. 'It's just the wind,' you think. But you couldn't be more wrong. If you listen closely,.

Waiting

I want this feeling to last forever. No matter the sadness or stormy weather. As we lie here, under the moon and stars. I'll always be beside you, no matter how far. Miles apart but always entwined.

Dream

Do you remember how I Held your hand in mine And looked in your eyes, Yours to love. We were one person, Two halves of a heart then You went missing Taken above.
