Angelic



  It's hard for me to say this. We were both shaking one out in detox. We didn't spend much time together. Yet, your eyes and heart burned and buried themselves deep within me. Your voice had blood and magic in it. Your stories broke my heart. No one as beautiful as you should have to deal with so much pain. No one should take advantage of someone with such a kind smile. I'm no good at love poems. I'm not even sure if this is love, loneliness or even a poem. You're looking for an out. I am too. The lines in your forehead are your humanity. You'll never drink so much that you'll lose your glow. The ravages of our small eternity will never take your soul from you. You'll still be nothing other than an angel in as many years as time chooses to allot to you.
