Angel

Written for and about my beautiful angel c:

I've never really believed in angels

that changed about eight months ago when I met one.

I didn't know it at the time but I knew I could feel something different although they thought I was dumb

They couldn't see what I did

But I could feel some sort of sorrow as if she had to bid goodbye to god as she fell

Like a snail who lost her shell she was searching

searching for someone who could be there like god

who could nod along with the music of her own

who would understand what they were shown she was trying to teach me something

so far she's taught me that love exists in all of us and we just have to find someone to trigger it 

Like a gun it can save a life and destroy another

And sometimes I can't help but wonder- Are all angels sad?

I know it's a bad thing to think but on the brink of insanity I ponder

would my angel be better off without me?

And it kills me to say because I know it would hurt her

And I know that she wants me to stay and I want to but she's too good for me

Like a key she's unlocked the door to a different realm for me

pure love that you only ever feel once in your life

Like a knife it will cut you open leaving your insides vulnerable on the outside

But with it comes power

power to push back the tide

to make the sky fall, to stay on for the ride although it may be bumpy

This power is what makes you something

This power gives you the courage, not to recite poetry but to write it

And it's not true power if you feel the need to hide it

Because if it is real, then it will be obvious. 

This love will make you proud, it will be the loudest thing you'll ever hear

not like pots and pans clattering together their steel. No.

it will be the sound of the angels screaming for their life

the sound of the heavens crashing to the ground

the sound of when the worlds collide 

the sound of us.

Together we'll break away the mold of the have once loved and have now lost

Together we'll grow old but bring light to every dark path we cross

find hope in the blackness, turn a dog's bark into a roar

teach the birds how to soar because you know best

I'll catch the feathers that fall from your wings and treasure them

Because they're the feathers that fell from the angel that made the sky bend

I can finally understand why god sent you it was to bring hope to someone

bring hope to me

so thank you because without you I wouldn't be here

You taught me that there's no reason to fear because you're not going anywhere

from the bottom of my heart I love you

and I'll never let you go.
