angel
i believe in angels.
ever since he died
i’ve been able to see
everything.
i think it’s a message
from him-
a peace offering of some sort
a token of regret
that he left before
i got to say goodbye
i never gave him an answer
to his question
it hurts too much to see
because it reminds me
of him.
i don’t understand
thought he was happy.
instead he chose
eternity
without me.
so unfair
he doesn’t deserve
to be an angel-
he should have stayed
with me.
