More Angel Than Man
MORE ANGEL THAN MAN
While you slept
I checked for wings
Because you were more beautiful
Than a mortal man
Others looked at me
And saw my assets
You looked at me
And saw my ess-ence
Your presence
Vanquished my demons
Your loving me
flooded me
And you let me crawl into you
when I was scared
When it got dark
I saw your light
It was you who
taught me to fly
And how to land
Your taught me to live and begin
when i wanted to end
And you were more angel than man
And then.....
You tattered your wings
And lost your ring
You ate the fruit
Swallowed the pit
And then heaven and earth
they mingled
Because suddenly
you were
more man - than Angel
