Freckled angels live on

Freckled angels climb higher

Freckled angels still inspire

Freckled angels won't forget you

Teach me to live my life better

Thirteen years and still I miss you

Now my wings are missing feather

Otherwise id come and join you

But for now I'm here on earth

Stuck inside this mortal body

But for everything its worth

Made me stronger, made me wiser, made me braver, made me true

Made me face the world with courage

And that's all because of you

Freckled angels laugh the hardest

And their hearts they are the largest

With their wings they fly the farthest

So I know you're gonna be okay

Freckled angels live the longest

And their minds they are the strongest

Oh their friends they are the fondest

I close my eyes most nights

before the tsunami of melancholy sleep shakes me 

so I can have an excuse to think about

the way the soft iridescent moonlight collided 

with your angelic complexion

and the way it leaked across your flawless skin

and fell and rose

with the inclination of your veins

like an ocean

seeping across a stone ridden valley

and I wanted to open my heavy eyes

and absorb the beauty that was before me 

but soon, reality will come stab me, 

like he always does,

and boorishly remind me, that it was merely a memory. 

and even through his cunning whispers, 

I never quite believe him,

that such a remarkably angelic memory,

could've been real.

my heart is dripping with a heavy feeling of nostalgia

and my lips are vigilant with the compassion they endured 

when they had the pleasure of meeting yours

for the very first time, so many nights ago

and when I finally fall to sleep

to the sound of my heartstrings softly playing 

the melodies you sang to me 

I will look up at the cryptic sky

one last time
