Your Fading Angel

Once so close together,

Like a tightly bound knot

Or fingers crossed.

Now the distance between you

Seems like ages and I often recall

That stretching avenue of nostalgia.

You held her at the end of a taught little string

As if waiting for the string to wither and let her fall.

If only you had kept her a little closer…

You could have saved her, but from what I hear

You were the one to make her disappear

Forever and always, your fading angel.
