Light in the Dark

She yawns as she rereads her lyrics
I wonder if she’d lie on my chest
I’d protect the angel while she’d sleep
Running my fingers through her long blond hair
Caressing her soft, angelic face
She writes again, but then erases
It scatters the remains of her words
Across the paper, hopelessly falling apart
And she writes again,
Please don’t stop angel, write your music
I wish she could hear me
But my words are blocked by my fears
Would she reject my words of affection?
Or would she fall into me, let me whisk her away?
I know the angel’s past
I would have kidnapped her
Saved her from the horrors she experienced.
Showed her a world of love, protection, kindness
But mainly love
A love she’d never known before
