The Angel

Time turns into dust As I sit here, my hands in cuffs Days turn into chains As I lay hidden, full of pain Months come and go As I’m forced to lay low My body feels dead As I desperately search for a bed Endless threats silence my ears As I struggle to cast out all my fears My mind has crossed to the Darkness inside Knowing that my survival has been denied I can not escape my wall of loneliness For part of me has left God and His Holiness My body is weak, my throat dry If I had tears, I would’ve cried I’m giving up, I can not go on But then something new occurs at Dawn An Angel appears at my side With a happy ending to help build my Pride
