The Angel Who Never Knew
She was an angel
But she didn't know
Life was hers for the choosing
But she chose to let go
Her whole life before her
But she didn't know
I saw her fall from heaven
The day she let go
She fell into
My broken arms
All of my charm
Only caused her harm
I cried the day
She went away
I close my eyes
See her angelic face
She didn't know
She could save
What does it matter
She went away
And I hold her name holy
As the ghost she now is
My only wish
Is she knew how to live
Life is so fragile
In the arms of an infant
Possibiltiies endless
Endlessly infinite
I remember how
she could smile
Made shattered dreams
Seem worthwhile
I could do anything
Under her gaze
It was me she saved
Then ended it all away
Why did she leave me
To figure it out alone
Why was she helpless?
Why was she cold?
Angel unknown
Please return to this presence
For reality without you
Is never as pleasant
The thought of her
Awesomer
Than you can imagine
She kept me going
By reviving my dragon
Invision a world
Of no material
All in existence
Live in indecision
For no one knows
What they really want
They want a world
That's not enough
And then she returned
To carry in peace
Her healing touch
reached inside me
I know she's there
Though I can't see
I feel her halo
Watching over me
I feel diseased
Then it went away
In the same fashion
As she did one day
One day abruptly
A realization
Was my life
Really worth saving
I'd trade for hers
On any plane
Because an angels special
Until they're gone away
