Angel

Another wretched night
Bad dreams and restless sleep
Dog snooring loudly
Curled up by my feet

Not quite awake yet
Thoughts swirling around
My face plays expressions
Sad smile then a frown

I need to do something
To re-centre my whole
Tell my side of the story
And unburden my soul

Long to sleep like the dead
Not haunted every day
By the face of an Angel
That won’t fade away
