~weeping Angel~ Poem by Lilly Mystic

in the darkness I weep
where no can see

wrapping my angel wings
round my wounded heart


they're my cloak and covering
my protection from a world too harsh

tears from heaven rain down on me
the cherubim bare witness to a broken lady

keening the loss of my beloved
not knowing what the future holds

on shaky feet I travel on into new terrain
knowing our creator is with me

still I feel bereft
loneliness confounds me without my loved one by my side

a part of me dying inside
wearing a brave face

hiding the pain
that is tearing at me

losing my footing and getting up again
drinking to numb my raw ache

a temporary fix
the brightness of the day belying the dark I feel within
