Always By My Side

 

She was a Hollywood star?

she lived in the west end

in the last house on St Michaels road

I know because I lived in a flat opposite

 

her beauty was undeniable

at least, to me  

 

a beauty with eyes like ten carat diamonds

every day making her debut

on the streets of London

 

somedays I used to observe the drivers on the road

rubber necking just to get a glimpse of her

after all, 

she did have a certain glow about her 

 

her eyes, although they sparkled

there was a sense of great pain inside them

painted tears on her cheeks

even though they weren’t really there

I could see them, even from afar

 

one day out of nowhere

we bumped into each other

her painted tears nowhere to be seen

just a magnificent smile

she hugged me

and just then I knew…

 

she was actually my Angel.
