Heaven

Standing here in the silent church,
I’m begging for your Heaven.
Heaven for your mercy,
Heaven for your compassion,
Heaven for your forgiveness.

Sitting here in the dark church,
I kneel in prayer to my Heaven.
Heaven of my hatred,
Heaven of my betrayal,
Heaven of my sins,

In this peaceful paradise of Saints,
The sound of the bell has resonated.
The sound of your everlasting bliss.
The bell of my evil regrets.
It resonated with the painful romantic delusion of our past.
My love...In this holy kingdom of angels,
I hold a letter from your grieving heart like a spine deeply embedded in my heart as I read every word you have written.
"My darling, the day I first met you,
The day I found my heaven inside you.
The moment you fell in love with me,
The moment I devoted to being your woman”
But your love... my sorrowful tears were too beautiful to chain my soul."
"My darling
The day you walked away from me,
The day I found you in my Heaven.
The moment you close your heart to me,
The moment I’ve let you go as your woman."
My heart keeps bleeding, my little angel...
My soul is so shattered to know that I’m in such pain of losing you forever.
"My darling, If heaven is a place of compassion,
Why would he disregard our destiny?
If heaven is a place of purity,
Why would he let you fill my heart with hate?
If heaven is a place of love,
Why can’t we love each other? Forever?
If heaven is a place of righteousness,
Why would he end our romance with grief?
My darling, by the time we find the answers, the time ...you will... I will...
The melody of the piano starts to chime,
The silent church is filled with people
Like a knife slashing my soul as I hear the chorus sing "Ave Maria"
I see an angel between the white roses walk into the altar.
"White like a snow "
"Shine like an angel"
"Beauty like a fairy"

My love, we finally find the answer.
You find your true Heaven,
I find my true Heaven,
You are the bride of God.
You are my Guardian Angel.
Sister Maria Angelina...
