If I were an angel,
I would stand behind you at every turn.
I would teach you what you need to learn.
If I were an angel,
I'd wrap you in my wings
and protect you from the terrible things
our world throws at us.
If I were an angel,
I'd hide you
keep you all to myself.
But I'm no angel.
I'm quite the opposite.
I am a sinner
I am darkness
I am helpless
and I can't save you.
So I stand here in tattered clothes
with black clouds above my head.
Words lingering on my lips
words that can't be said.
"I'm sorry.I love you.I'd help you if I could."
The sky is bleeding scarlett
the wind is whipping, howling, an I scream your name.
You try to do the same.
Our words are ripped away from us
We don't hear a thing.
You're standing across from me.
Maybe ten feet.
You see, if I was an Angel
I could reach you.
I could hold you.
You stand there looking pale and thin
with hair in those watering eyes
and just like our words
you're ripped away from me.
