I found an angel

Story

I found an angel

I found a guardian angel 

A gift of a desperate god

I was in a situation fatal

I can’t help it, I’m flawed


I stopped believing in safety

But still screamed “save me”

And angel did, more than once

Treating my bleeding cuts


Angel said “I’ll take care now,

Don’t give into the demons

Let me show you how.”


But I didn’t know how to be saved

The demons held me low, close to a grave 

Daily persuading me to up my intake.


Demons gave me a sweet poison

Stronger than my angel Jason

Who couldn’t bear to watch me fall.

So I said nothing. Alone in this empty hall.


I’ll fall alone. 

“Angel, stay away!

I’m doing this on my own,

My path will lead you astray!


And let it be known,

If I die, don’t think about it, just don’t 

You know I can’t live without it, leave it alone

You tried you’re best, I now decide what’s next.”
