As Angels Weep
The love was torn from my heart.
Took my soul ripped it apart.
The skies grow dark the day is gray,
I see you turn and walk away.
I’m tired the answer that I seek
This day has felt like it was a week.
As I see the night sky glow.
I hope the way will start to show.
I’ve seen this darkness times before,
I thought it was my time to soar.
I feel as though my wings were clipped
I reach the top but then I slipped.
It always seems to end this way,
The words I’d rather not just say.
I’ll wake tomorrow another day,
I’ll find another place to play.
I close my eyes I need to dream.
Things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Many have gone and have strayed,
Wrapped inside decisions made.
I close my eyes I need some sleep,
I lay awake and count some sheep.
It seems I got in way too deep.
The rain does fall as angels weep.
