Love for an Angel

Heaven cried its tears

For the loss of its child

An angel of pure beauty

And a heart, loving and mild

She stumbled and she fell

From heaven's lofty clouds

Into a world filled with hate

And souls covered in shrouds

A special soul found the angel

Fallen, hurt and in tears

He came closer to befriend her

But she hid, she showed her fear

He said to her in a tender voice

"Do not be afraid, gentle one,

I will not harm a beauty as you

For my heart and soul you've won."

The angel still held doubt and asked

"Prove yourself, speak truth and all.

Do you love truely for beauty,

Or do you love falsely for soul?"

"From your choices I can't decide,

For my love is true for soul and beauty,

My heart you caught at first glance,

My soul you've taken for eternity."

"But you cannot love me," she sighed.

"You musn't love me for we're not the same.

I am not supposed to by loved by you,

If your heart is broken, your foolishness is to blame."

"I know of the prices I have to pay,

Of the things we do not share.

But isn't love what binds differences together

And replaces them with tenderness and care?"

"Let me love you, tender one,

Let me prove my deep feelings.

Let me show how true my love is,

Let grow between us trust and understanding."

The angel gave thought, but pitied the young soul.

She said he could prove it if a promise is made.

If she leaves him, not a tear should be shed,

Sadness and sorrow, all misery she forbade.

And time went on by,

Together their love grew.

And more time passed by,

Their love was pure and true.

But the time did come when she had to leave,

He was filled with sorrow, but not a tear was shed.

She asked him if he loved her, and why not a tear,

He said to her, "Because of a promise, though my heart has bled."

Tears filled her eyes, she cried as she walked farther.

She told him she loved him, that she'll love him forever.
