LoveRemembered

While sitting on a solitary cloud
I once did peak from heavens gate
To this figment world below
And did seal a fiendish fate
I knew not the feel of pain
The sting of a broken heart
How bones could ever break
But that was just the start
A demon did charm me
He filled me with lies
I sank in his venom
His evil demise
Held prisoner to this madness
I lost hope and way
Blinded to redemption
My lifeline started to fray
I dropped from innocence
Down to this gloomy world
When corruption did steal me
And left my morals twirled
Chastised for my emotions
Left naked and shamed
I cursed the one who could save me
I left his identity to me unnamed
For years I did wander
Alone and tormented
Fear and anger fumed me
Needing to be vented
I felt my skin turn pale
My insides rot away
Feathers fell from my wings
Halo lacked its golden ray
Eyes to sunk in to see
No sensation to feel a caress
I never inquired on how you came
But you were there for me none-the-less
You watched from above
My guardian on high
Feeling my pain with me
Shedding the same tears we cry
Never averting your gaze
Waiting till the time was right
You came for me with arms wide open
Stealing me into the night
You cleansed my seeping wounds
Mended every broken bone
Caressed my fragile body
Singing to me in your heavenly tone
For weeks I was in a coma
Not realizing how you cared for me
But loyal and true you stayed
Praying that I might wake up and see
Your prayers were answered
For I slowly opened my eyes
Blinked the sleep away
And squinted at the bright skies
For the first time I felt the sun
How its rays can warm the inside
Filling me with life and beauty
Keeping my recuperation on its mind
Over time the wounds did heal
But the scars will never fade away
But those agonizing memories will
And the ones we will make shall stay
You shared your secrets with me
Helped build back my esteem
With your eyes so deep and comforting
Their brown pools of ebony cream
You helped strengthen my body
And helped soothe my mind
My soul was a different story
Stubborn and not easy to find
But you never gave up hope
And we grew closer every day
Till I understood why life
Challenges us in every way
Down on my knees I asked
For God to forgive my flee
To cleanse my soul again
And fill the void with glee
I thank you to this day
For returning me to my wings
For the sky is far much riveting
With your voice echoing while it sings
Without you Id be lost
Condemned to a fate of death
But now I will live
With you providing sweet breath
Everything happens for a reason
No one is to blame
I love you like nothing else
And our love is my hearts eternal flame
