Angel of Death...

Rain dances around me and patters my face

As lightning flashes across the midnight sky.

The last thing I remember is of her warm embrace

As she hugged me and kissed goodbye.

I've told this story only once before,

It's about a girl I once loved and cared for.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't anymore,

I Just don't see how when she's at heaven's door.

You see, she had cancer but wouldn't say,

I guess she loved me too much to let me know.

Perhaps she didn't trust me enough anyway,

Thinking that I'd blow it off as some sympathy show.

Snow dances around me now and licks my face

As I am lost in the warmth of her grace.

I see her in a distance, yet as if looking through haze,

I sense her charming smile as if calling me from my daze

Blood stains the snow around me,

Suddenly, all at once, it's plain to see.

I remembered driving way too fast

And the next thing I remember was a huge blast.

So, it has come to this,

A life well lived and quickly spent.

Now, should I find eternal peace

Or shall I be damned to repent?

Either way, I know I'm due

To pay for my sins, it's true.

I have but one rue,

That I cannot spend my life with you.
