Angel Contagious

When you look back
Beyond your innocence of youth and jealousy
There will lie patience and age
Devoid of rage

And all that came before
Will make sense
In the present tense

And what you had before
Which you chose to ignore
Becomes up to your partner
Thinking whether 
You were worth fighting for

Or if settling an old score
Putting to bed a festering sore
That broke there spirit
And made them feel worthless

Was merely angel dust and wonder lust
