Faith
dried tears on the face of an angel
to the touch, cold as a statue
soul is free, no longer dark or mangled
angel of stone in a graveyard, although stationary, i cannot catch you
stone wrists cannot bleed
but your wings cannot break
i pray for your blessing i need
or else my lover now must be fake
though dark october took you from this world
the rebirth of april cannot bring you to return
you turned to stone with your fingers curled
you cannot fly away, but you never learn
my statue of an angel in a cemetery
stuck frozen still forever and a day
the devils muse, away he will try to carry
an angel of stone in a cemetery you will always stay

This poem is about loss of a loved one by suicide. I'm working on a series of poems with a similar feel to this, all keeping the angel idea in them.
