My Angel
by Jasna Gugic / August 6th, 2023
After all my years of hope
I’m alone in the night
under the sky purple
and I only see your star,
Angel, show me the way
and light my path I walk
not to stumble
on the sharp life stones.
As you know,
I wait for you every morning
with the blink of the sun,
to open your eyes just once more.
But my teary mornings
are full of loneliness without a spark.
Still, I’m longing for your desire
and I’m loved by your love,
infinitely through the stars,
that you play now with.
But life goes on, painful
and days go by,
and I’m pressed by years
and I’m wondering,
are they worth it without you,
cause’ without love, all the
life is a ship without a harbor,
no anchor stormed from all sides.
