To love and hold
A husband to me
What a fate to be
Time not measured
True love upon me

Yet ''twas my head
Not my heart that ruined me
What folly and illness possessed me

What deed or song could convey
The hurt I recked
Not only in you
But in me
What was broken can never be fixed

A night as quick as a knife
A feeling not forgotten
A promised burned
A memory forever
As dark as can be

Now I sit by candlelight
Thinking of you
How to say sorry
The shame I feel
No thoughts of why
Only my flame still here
Watching me

As your name, Angel, you are
A gift to me
That was not my title
But yours

The good path you guided
Not followed by I
Roads to better times
Now the destination unknown
Map of future
Time may hold
