Letters To Angels
Dear angels, I must now be lost… no longer can I find my way
I must be blind… no longer can I see a-ray
Vultures set to dine, and enemies are in line.
Dear angels, I met one like you… I loved one like you
but the one who steals; stole her from me
the one who steals, laughs at me.
Dear angels, I kissed her lips… they made me be
and gazing at her made me see
but still, the one who kills; killed and gorged her heart.
Dear angels, I no longer afford to seem or dream
my throat thirst… and look, my skin is now crust
her loved ones are dark at me, salt at me…
Dear angels, I now envy the dogs who bark at sky.
Who have no knowledge about the one who steals,
Dear angels, oh hear me now… I need her, I need her now!
My dear angel, I know you live
My dear angel, I write to you
I know the one who steals… is away fom you
I know the one who gives… is next to you.
Tell him, I’ cum for you!
