Resting with Angels
Resting with Angels
There was nothing they could’ve done,
It was far too late to get her back home.
She made her choice, though it wasn’t right.
Now it’s too late to fight for her life.
It was far too late to get her back home.
She made her choice, though it wasn’t right.
Now it’s too late to fight for her life.
She’s resting with angels now.
Now the story I’m going to tell
Isn’t funny and isn’t sad;
It’s philosophy, heaven, and hell,
And a maiden who’d been driven mad.
She’s resting with angels now.
You might disapprove a few things I write;
But it’s the truth that I’m telling you.
It’s not my sins that it’s all about,
But a soul that was teared in two.
She’s resting with angels now.
She suffered too long to not to change.
I watched how she tried to recover from death.
But she’s been there too long to return so easily,
Too long to forget her never ending misery.
She’s resting with angels now.
Every day of her life she was forced to face it,
There was no place safe for her.
Every building was filled with danger;
No safe house she saw, no friendly glimpse she caught.
She’s resting with angels now.
She was floating in a world of hopelessness,
Which she despised and wanted to leave.
She would’ve given her soul to the heights of Inverness,
Her heart, her sight and her touch she did not want to keep.
She’s resting with angels now.
She wanted to drown in the depth’s of the wildest sea;
She wanted to disappear.
She wished to destroy the mysterious key:
The only way to unlock her fears.
She’s resting with angels now.
She wanted to be one of Rafael’s women;
Everlasting, unlimited, perfect.
She wished to become an angel to watch the world grow old
In her hands, guided by her.
She’s resting with angels.

dat is.. waw! Ö en normaal ben ik niet zo voor rijm! het is enorm mooi, die herhaling ben ik ook van, en dan dat einde.. dit is echt een gedicht dat je zonder schammte aan Bob zou kunnen tonen (de eigenaar van een jong dichterscollectief in gent), en die gasten zijn geniaal.
