Angel Quote by Kathy Acker
““Every angel is terrifying. Through the darkness, they move silently... I will go down into death with you. I must go where I must go To see what I must see In that place where no one knows... ... This is where love is taking me. You have been leading Me, angels, in and out of death. I have no idea who you are. Eurydice. Is she nothing Or is she your mirror? I don't know anymore. I am at war. Perhaps that which is given - Being human - Is too hard, And so it is love that brings us, To what cannot be born, To ourselves, And so we must change, Must descend, guided by love, into the unknown. Lovers disappear in each other. Do they disappear forever? Where do they go?””

![“I sit and wait does an angel contemplate my fate and do they know the places Where we go when we're grey and old 'cos I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold So when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head And I feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead [Chorus:]…” quote by Jessica Simpson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5d4/jessica-simpson-1755_god_i-sit-and-wait-does-an-angel-contemplate_120554.jpg)
