Hello There Poet Rhyme

Angel Apology

Were you the angel who held on tight                               
through my darkest hours ‘til the new day’s rise? 
Did you tuck me in, memories erase, 
‘til I drifted off, comfortably embraced? 

And the song I heard at the edge of night ~ 
was it yours that helped me to greet sunlight? 
I remember how each day felt brand new 
waking up with joy, opening eyes to you. 

I relinquished peace, sacrificed too much ~ 
I, with concrete needs, longed for you to touch,
so I, selfishly, tried to turn and run, 
but have missed you every day since then.
