Angel 3
looking into your eyes
i could see such a beautiful soul
in the passion of innocence
crying out at me
please darling do not make it
any harder on me
i wish to tell you
only i cannot
sweetheart you are to young
then you began pleading
god help me i thought
the last thing one wanted to do
was hurt someone so sweet
i turned and said
your my angel
you just do not know it yet
then you said that your mother
was twenty years older
than your father
whom you said was dead
i sternly said
in a soft yet clear voice
darling i am not willing to take the gamble
a little annoyed
looking at me surprised
when i said find someone
closer to your own age
i never sweet talked her
always acted oneself
its you i am interested she said
thinking to myself
she knew nothing about me
never mentioning hospitals
at the time a touchy subject
not anything to do with my past
i did remember months earlier
her asking if i were single
saying yes as at the time
broken up nearly seven months
the urges were there
but lost all energy and spark
found it difficult trusting
looking at her directly in the eyes
i said to her sweetheart
look at me
i am old enough to be your father
putting my arms around you
giving you a hug
like i would my daughter
ever so gently
please let me go i said
i do not want to hurt you
it was like you wanted
never to let go
i braced my arms down
my sides pushing you
gently away
for that i am so sorry
i began wishing you
all the happiness in the world
telling you
youth is in your favor
then you began promising me a family
this poor little angel
promised me a world
i told all my friends about you
she said
they all know your age
it does not bother any of them
its like no
was not the answer
that your heart desired
i do not mean to be cruel
if something were to happen me
it was then you questioned my response
sternly telling me
that you had told your mother
about me
in words inside my mind
i was completely shocked
nearly told her about hospital
before you made the move
it was like the eyes
had been on me for some time
not even knowing
when i was at my lowest
i kissed you on the forehead
like how i would with my daughter
then you began clinging to me
listen i said do not make it any harder
it was then you knew i was saying goodbye
