If Only You Knew Poem by Joanna Pavlides

Did you know
I speak with angels
Every time I pray

The other day
I saw your angel cry
When you turned your face
And walked the other way

I sent you lots of light
For you to understand
That it was not a sin
But gift of love
That happens to a few

You dismissed it though
You tore it apart
With your fear of starting over
With your dread of anew

Offering meant to heal
Slashed the hearts in half
Things could have been different
If only you knew
