Five Angels

*This five stanza poem was written sometime in 2005. Each stanza was aimed at a different "Angel" in my life at the time. I learned a lot about myself by knowing these "Angels" and appreciate all five of them for what I have learned. Five years later, I hope they appreciate what they have learned from me.*

I don’t like to make fights; I make amends.

This has nothing to do with maturity and age.

I just wanted some space in your book of Friends.

Think about that before you tear out my page.

-

I think our hearts were in different locations,

Even though we were standing side by side.

I wish I could give you more loving sensations,

But I’m only a loose end that needs to be tied.

-

My companionship is not high in demand,

Because through the years I have shown,

That I’m a very hard person to understand.

Which would explain why I stand alone.

-

It’s hard being the man that never existed.

I’m like a shadow that had never been cast.

Being the temptation that’s always resisted,

Makes me a distant memory of your past.

-

It’s all should, would, and could in the end.

The things I should have said back then.

The vibes I would have loved to send.

The Man in your life I could have been.
