Poems
Under the Rose Arch
Author: Johan Maltesson
The Angel of Death
I am dead now
You killed as you walked out
I’m lying on the floor
I am no longer living
My heart will beat no more
You told me that you loved me
But that you had to leave
That I had to understand
That this had to be
You were my salvation
My angel in the sky
You gave me pretty wings and
You taught me how to fly
But then you broke my wings off
And stomped me to the ground
And now I’m lying dead here
Drowned in tears for you
And if I ever one day would
Rise up from the dead
Could I then ever love again
Without the heart you stole away?
Better never love at all
Than having loved and lost?
