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

were my angel and now that you know, never forget...I shared my view of the way the world should be...so if you loved me be a good person because the world is lacking just that. You were my hope...I saw you change, then I knew I had...then I realized anyone can have hope with belief.

I wanted to help you to feel like I did something for someone who needed and deserved it. It was selfish I knew trying to make you grow up. I know your ok now because u learned to fly. I love you always Ally don't forget that. You can be anything don't let no one stop you. you healed.

you know I met you as a lost kid with a lot of anger, a rebel with no cause. I tried to set you up on the right track, maybe I did maybe you figured it out on your own, but I wanted you because we both had a lot of issues, and we beat them together. You gave me peace that grew into freedom.

If this is the only girl I ever loved...wow so much left unsaid...but you made me so strong dragging me through hell and leaving me to die. only I didn't...and it will never be that bad again...I knew from the moment I saw you we were gonna be on the crazy train together...I just didn't know one day I would be able to get off it again and everything would magically be better...because you were the only one who ever got in...and made sure I don't ever give away THAT key again.

Yes I wrote it thinking about one of the most beautiful girls I ever seen...her name is Whitney I told her she was an angel she had power to heal and inspire with her beauty and charm she didn't see in her self...so I wrote this about and for her. She's my friend and a work of art.
