Soft breathing fills my soul as I lay beside you, my angel. I lay awake for too long watching you sleep, too aware of what lies ahead. I can no longer be there to chase the sorrow from your smile. The sun will shine on your hair of copper fire, but no fire shall shine from a smile to rival the sun. I have given you everything I can, but now I have nothing left to give. You holds my heart, but as I move away to stand, I'm too scared to hold you any longer.
I creep away slowly, fearing and praying that you will wake. Praying so that you will call me back from the edge on which I stand, fearing that you will see the monster which now will leave.
I've tried to show you how much more life can give you, but still you seek only me. It terrifies me. You cling to my, who has the stability of the wind. You cling to me, but I can give no warmth. You are my Angel. You alone keep me alive. And this is why I sneak away to leave.
Please, my beloved Angel, sleep well.
I turn to give one final glance to you, and nearly break. The love we once shared now dies. Tears burn my open eyes as you lay in bed alone, reaching for me in your sleep. I just want to come home to your loving arms, but I cannot. The wind will bring you no warmth, only shadows and sorrow.
I'm sorry that I am too weak to stay. I'm sorry to leave you this way. I'm sorry I couldn't stay away. I am so sorry for the dawning of this day.
I force myself to leave, so good-night, sleep well, My Angel...
