Broken Halo Blues...

the love I had for you has faded away 
and vanished into moonlit skies
like the smoke from a candle blown out 
for the night, disappearing as it flies

but like the scent of the candle 
I still can smell your perfume on the covers
and as I lay my head down to rest
I still sometimes wish we were lovers

but you know that could never ensue
because it’s hard to love someone 
whose halo has broken in two
