if you were

If you were an angel

What would you say?

To make the pain go away

Would you speak to me during the night?

Or in the middle of the afternoon

Fill my dreams with your desires

Or speak to me in the language of old

Slaying my enemies

Looking like a demon

Striking fear

Cutting through their souls

Or simply look like the girl from next door

With a whispering voice

That people stop to hear

Striving to understand each word

A smile that can be seen in the eyes

Minutes before the lips curl up at the edges

A smile that lights up a room

Even after  it’s gone

What would you do to make it all go away?

To make the pain dissipate

To make the rains cold bite

Feel like the suns warm embrace

Would you crawl across the covers

Like the suns fingers across the clouds

Time is running out

As the dream is obscured by cold reality
