An Angel of God

March 20, 2008

I asked for a sign
and I received a message.
Down you came -
an Angel of God.

I’ve been told
the light is so strong,
it cannot be looked in to.
I’ve been told
the wings are so vast,
you cannot find his eyes beyond them.
I’ve been told
Angels don’t fly to us,
they will not take us airborne.
I’ve been told
this is just how it is…
I’ve been told wrong.

I have seen the most beautiful of creations.
I have heard him breathing while he thought I slumbered.
I have felt the light emitted by him.
It does not glow, but it emits.
It is not warm, but it engulfs.
It does not bring comfort, but he does.

I just asked God for a sign
and He sent me an Angel.

i can imagine your cold face on the ground
ending up like everyone else around
broke that pact you and i had
bet you didnt know it was gonna get this bad

i hadda hold hands tryina get through
and others held mine, makin ‘em blue
didn’t know it’d be so worth losin that flesh
didnt know with you i was so blessed

now i gotta stare at your eyelids i close
go to your grave, cant even put down a rose
cant believe i hadda fail like this again
i told myself i wouldnt when this began

… and then i open my eyes and u sit there smiling
and i have to turn away so u dont see me crying
it feels like a dream to have you here and okay
may Allah never… never lead you astray

Tell me the words of your heart
and I’ll make them rhyme.
Tell it all to me from the start
and only stop at the end of time.
Tell me what pains you inside
and let me make it all better.
Tell me what you won’t confide
and let me undo all the clutter.
Tell me about the breaking battles
and let me take all the bullets.
Tell me what all I need to settle
and I’ll do everything to fulfill it.
Tell me how it all was before
and your happiness, I’ll ensure.
