Work Text:
I have an angel,
One that watches after me,
She tests every step on my path,
All so I can walk happily.
*
Long as I’ve known,
My angel’s been there,
Shining her golden comb,
And taming the curls in my hair.
*
We walked along the road today,
My pretty angel and I,
Picking at the wildflowers,
That were staring to the sky,
*
Suddenly unlike routine,
My angel turned my way,
Her clear green eyes now beet red,
She cried ‘I can no longer stay.’
*
I wept sweet tears on our road today,
Begging my angel to bring me along,
To my chagrin, she wiped my cheek,
Explaining I was too young for heaven’s song.
*
Today my angel went away,
With little reason why,
She only promised to light my way,
From a cloud that hung real high.
*
I’ll never forget today’s long walk home,
As I watched my own steps,
Today I looked back more than once,
Feeling my fear meet new depths.
*
I’m walking through my backyard right now,
My final attempt after a hundred unheard prayers.
A note tied to a blue balloon,
Which I’m sending soaring through the air.
*
My note explains my newfound fear,
And how I feel all alone,
I beg my angel to hear my wish,
I beg that she come home.
*
I say that I am sorry,
And that I intend to make it right.
‘Whatever have I done today,
to be robbed of my one true light?’
*
It is there I alert her to a pressing danger,
One that cannot be detected,
not from her palace in the clouds,
no, this danger has been long neglected.
*
The danger is one my angel caused,
When she robbed me of a soul.
Unknowingly she stole from me,
The part that refused to grow old.
*
Now as I watch my message soar slowly,
I’m reminded of my pretty angel friend,
Memories of her leaving me,
As to heaven, she did ascend.
*
Fluffy white wings that I once tugged,
Block my view of heavens gold gate,
I try again to plead for her,
Though still, she said I’d have to wait.
*
It’s been ages since my message sent,
Still in the grass, I choose to lie,
I would lay here for the rest of my life,
I’d stay here till I died.
*
For what is life without my angel,
Other than fear and hate?
If I am to die for her,
I gladly accept my fate.
*
My angel’s job is to protect me,
Perhaps on my deathbed, she’ll come to my aid,
If she knew how much I loved her,
She would have known I never would’ve obeyed.
*
Towards my last breath,
It’s to heaven I do plea,
‘My dear God whom I have failed,
Into your gates please accept thee.
*
I am a girl driven to madness,
By the dangers upon this mortal plain,
My mind is corrupted by several demons,
Of which all have yet to be slain.
*
I ask humbly for your help dear lord,
Please take me in from the flame,
I wish to walk through heaven’s doors,
To the land from where I came.
*
In your presence, my heart will fill,
In your waters, my soul shall be washed clean,
God please I beg you take mercy,
As my actions were unforeseen.
*
It was for my angel I sat in wait,
My angel and her comb,
So, take me now my dear sweet lord,
Take me to my forever home.’
