Angels.

An angel is a white curse;
Pure and terrible.
Innocence and naivety do not escape the wrath of God.
Seeing angels only traumatizes,
Yet you know that all you want is to see them.
Angels are proof.
Proof of life after death.
When you send your loved ones off to become them,
you know that's where they need to be.
Because there's always a reason,
even if it doesn't seem fair.
Your other half leaves you.
You had no choice,
but knowing that you were the one to ultimately send her away
is the worst kind of pain.
It's been nearly a month.
But you can't stop crying yet.
You will never be the same.
