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.
