Sweet Angel

I know I can't find the words to say 
But I'll give it a try anyway.....
For the past couple months I know I've been different
But baby it's you, you've got me slippin',
Slippin right through your precious hands
As I try to explain to you, but you still don't want to understand,
I want us back to the way we were before,
When you actually cared about me and would open my door.
You would hold my hand so secure and tight,
and treated with the love that I knew was right!
Now every night I sit and wonder why,
You watch me drown myself  in all my saddened cries...
Cant you see that I'm silently screaming!
Its that twinkle in your eye, constantly gleaming
It's turned you so dark, shady, and cold,
I just want my baby back in my arms to hold.
Where is that sweet angel I used to adore,
I can't seem to find him, he sure isn't here anymore....
