Wings

Laying in bed your arms around me

Midnight shadows on your face

A thought, a question of what future brings

"What is left after death?" my finger trails up your chest

A kiss on my forehead and out slips

"I don't know, maybe angels and wings?" another kiss

I fall back asleep with glowing wings sweeping through dreams


I wake up no arms around me this time

Midnight but no shadows on your face

Memories flow back to me

The weekend you asked me to marry you

But then it's not my memories, I say yes

Flashes of what I might have had with you

I know the answer now, death is reliving what could have been
