Farrago

I once dreamed
you were an angel
derived from the madness, insanity
my soul had been driven to
I imagined you my essence
my saving grace
presented to me, finally
beyond the coldness of yesterday
I fancied having wished upon a star
to have heaven surround me
pulling me from desolution
I wished you were my savior
rescuing me from misery
wrapping me in your embrace
I dreamed these ethereal hopes
to shield me from my pain
and as I dreamed, angel mine
i let you fall away
too painful for you...
my heart, my soul
my eternal star now shies away
my moon, now dark...
my sun, now black...
