Angels are Listening to Me

The beach claims my restless spirit,

Night after endless night.

I look to the sky and ask

For my angels to heal my plight.

I ask for a sign, one I can clearly see.

I need to know my angels, are listening to me.

Yet,the answer that I'm given,

although simple, causes me to flee.

In trusting I will find 

The gentle soul I've waited for,

I look back to the answer,

They had given once before.

A name I've known and trusted,

since the day that I was born;

a soul my heart has yearned for,

one who offers so much more.

With doubt, I almost missed him,

Yet in faith, I sought him out.

He was longing for me too...

All along my angels knew.

You are the best of all I've loved,

and then again, much more.

You climbed through the window of my heart 

and opened up the door.

Your gentle touch awakened in me,

intrinsic responses, known to you alone.

Strong hands moved me and caressed me,

possessed my being, grew my woman's soul.

Together, we became a masterpiece, 

created out of love, 

Our forever was my finally... how my storybook should end.

you became my soul's companion...never travelin' alone again.

My body is an instrument,
you so gently play.

a love masterpiece written with your touch

and grows more beautiful each day.

You are my soul's companion,

my forever life long friend,

The songs you write upon my heart, 

you continue to play, again and again.

your love for me keeps drawing me in.

your arms, they hold me tight,

loving me, caressing me,

night after tender night.

Too mesmerized by the music we create...

I didn't open up my eyes until it was too late.

Relationships from your past, also claim your soul

Women you don't truly love, but still you won't let go.

not able to share you, like I've had to from the start

your unspoken truths surface and slowly break my heart...

Needing you to be, the the sole musician of my soul.

Wanting to be your forever love, in mind, body, and soul.

For you are still playing songs, you've written long before.

friendships with old lovers, so many verses, so much more.

songs you shouldn't need to play,

music I am told to accept or you will walk away.

My pain doesn't touch you, 
it's so easily dismissed. 

Your time is spent seeking, 
what are you searching for?

i don't want your heart to hurt; 
but mine is breaking more,

i shouldn't have to share you
with a life you lived before.

you know that you are hurting me, 

but what you want means more.

we can't write our masterpiece, 
with one foot out the door...

From the very beginning, 

you've guarded hearts of others, more than mine.

This choice was already made by you 

long before my time.

I am truly thankful for the song,

you wrote upon my soul; 

tender notes and promises
of a love that would only grow...

I am so in love with you...

but my heart's broken to the core'

there should have never been a fight

if you had loved me more. 

your answer has always been there

a truth i didn't want to see,

I can't share you with another love..  

but, mine alone, you'll never be.
