Fly away with the wings of an angel.

And know the you were loved beyond compare,

Even now the emotions within me swell.

 

Now against this world you did rebel,

But you lived your best life with your own flair,

Fly away with the wings of an angel.

 

The secrets we shared I will never tell,

Of all poets we were the oddest pair,

Even now the emotions within me swell.

 

Chuckling about a modern form William tell,

Poetry is such a sordid affair.

Fly away with the wings of an angel.

 

And though our works never really did sell,

Which to me is so Unjust and unfair,

Even now the emotions within me swell.

 

Your destiny called you to go elsewhere,

Fly away with the wings of an angel.

Even though my feelings this did not spare,

Even now the emotions within me swell.
