Poems of Soldiers

Hidden from an Angel

From the day I was born
I had a friend
She was there for me
Time and again

She never left
Was always there
As I to her
This never impaired

Then I watched her
Learn the dating game
Helped her when it
Brought much pain

I never asked
Only gave
Never doubted
What she said

Then it happened
On a dark lonely night
Gone I was
Pushed to flight

Only a memory remained
A smile, a face, a personality
I lost it all
Nothing left, not anymore

A regret remained
so full of pain
I should have told her
Feelings I had went much further

And today I feel no sorrow
And I feel no shame
And come one day
Feel no pain

I will always love her
More than she'll know
And pray that one day
It will finally show

But no one deserves her
Not even I
For she is an angel
Descended from up high
