Angel

You found me
bleeding, broken, and alone
and told me I was okay.
Wrapped me in your warmth
protected me with your wings
and healed my wounds
the demon had given me before he had left me there
The demon who had taken everything
But you gave me your love
and my heart slowly turned back
from stone and ice to compassion and warmth
You showed me how to live again
and all the desolated roads and forgotten stories all disappeared and all the scars my sorrows left seemed to blend into my skin.
Even the memories faded like the darkness at the break of dawn
You caught me as I fell into the abyss and saved me from myself
From the dark nightmares, from the shadows, from myself
And gave me something to live for
You’re my angel, my saving grace
And as long as I am by your side I will never let go.
