Conversation With An Angel

She felt the pain and loss of the gain of a midnight true love’s dream. No one to blame she left and came and I asked her, “how did it seem?” “Oh heaven, you mean? It’s beautiful and serene like I thought it would be. I saw your tears when you said goodbye, and thank you for setting me free.” I sat in fear, so unclear, she's really here! “Why did you choose to visit me?” She said softly, “honey, I’m so sorry...I can’t forget the look in your eyes,” Down on one knee, I beg and plead, “do you regret what you took to my cries?” She sat and pondered and I sat and wondered, “how could she want to die?” I stood and wandered, for I was younger but I still needed a reason why. “I hid right under the bridge from the thunder, no more seasons to try." I needed assurance, “dear sister, do you ever wish you could take it back?” She pleaded in endurance, “dear sister, forever it’s been self-love that I lacked.” I believed her story, she now lives in glory, but to her I must always remind, “your life was stormy and lived too shortly, don’t forget I always strived to find a way to rid a soul forlornly, left so sorely, you’ll always be on my mind.” *True story based on a dream I had last year of my sister who took her own life* Internal Rhyme Used Conversation Contest Sponsor: Frank Hererra Date Written: September 4, 2016
