A poem that actually tends towards happiness. I like the end. Though that's the saddest part. Haha.

#157. "Angel of My Mind" (10.23.2004)
I have a hard time believing
      you're real.
I think you are only
      a manifestion of my
            sad desire to be
                  loved.
I have never been less scared
      in my life.
I want to walk on forever with you.
Even if you are just an angel
      of my mind.

I wanted to believe that I was
      beautiful and special.
But years of loneliness would
      teach me otherwise.
You are the only respite in a
      life full of pain.
So please don't ask me why
      I don't believe, angel
            of my mind.

Please don't ask me why I
      don't believe.
Just let me enjoy your
      presence --
Until you inevitably return
      to your heaven,
And I to my hell.
