A muse on an Angel

If it were just the thought of you

That was running through my head

Then with grim determination

I could put that thought to bed

But the thought begat a feeling

And that feeling grew and grew

It wrapped itself around my heart

And squeezed it black and blue

So in search of a solution

I turned feeling into rhyme

And wrote for you a thousand words

Because you can’t be mine

Even though the strength of feeling

Maybe for Angels to compare

It’s clear the inspiration comes

From one for whom I care

And though I thought that by this method

I might put you back in place

I find I’ve just intensified

The feeling for your face

 

So now I’m finally standing here

Unsure quite what to do

With nothing I can give, My Love

Except my love for you.
