Within You

Here lies an angel
It was yours
It lingered about you
No matter the clouds 
Forever it hovered above you

Here you failed to save yourself
Life, it was yours
It found itself intertwined
Between reflections and shadows
It never made an attempt to escape
With all of your desires
You pushed her away

Here lies your sadness
Peaces of happiness devoured about
Here lies your angel
Between reflections and shadows
Here you failed to save your self my child
