I had a guardian angel.
He was different.
He was special.
He looked after me.
When I was sad,
he would come to me
in his tatted clothes
and his ragged black hair
and kiss my forehead,
tell me everything was OK.
He was here for a long time.
As long as I can remember.
He helped me through the bad times.
One day I was angry.
And as always,
he came to my side.
But this time I didn't want him.
This time I yelled at him,
and pulled out a knife.
I threatened him, I did.
I remember his eyes widening,
tears glistening his cheeks,
his fraying, white wings drooping.
I had never yelled at him before.
He didn't understand.
He had always been there for me.
I saw my hand, I did.
Holding the knife to his throat,
the sadness pressed upon his face,
fear upon his soul,
his angel heart was breaking.
I had a guardian angel.
And as I dropped the knife,
my angel came to me,
he hugged me,
wiped away my tears,
and told me that he loved me.
Then my guardian angel,
he lifted his wings and flew
right out my window,
dark into the night.
I really did have a guardian angel,
and I remember the last time I saw him,
looking back longingly at me
as he walked away,
out of my life,
in the dark,
of my own fault.
Disappearing in the night,
my guardian angel left me.
