[bodytext] => Twas once an angel Who followed me home "Why are you here? My child, I don't want you alone". I being foolish And young and naive Pretended nothing was wrong "Angel, it's you I don't need." A sorrow-filled look Appeared upon her face Perhaps it is possible I had just put her in her place She stood still She would not move "I'm here to help" She began to sooth "Help with what? Everything's fine!" "My dearest child, Are you blind?" My angel wouldn't listen Nor would she leave So I walked away Needing something to believe Hours had passed And I had forgotten The angel outside The situation I was caught in I turned on the television The one that raised me It was a good friend of mine The best it could ever be I heard voices from the basement Yelling back and forth This was not unusual My parents running their course I snatched the remote Increasing the sound If I couldn't hear them Nothing was going down The volume was up As loud as it could go Yet I still heard My mother shriek, "No!" My heartbeat growing faster My mind on a race What was happening? Dear Lord, what was the case? I heard a loud bang Perhaps a gunshot Deep down I knew It'd be the last time they fought My friend couldn't help me The dear old T.V. I felt fear dawning That the next victim would be me Acting upon instinct I ran for the door Getting outside I succeeded But I was stopped like before My angel stopped me And held me close to her heart It was clearly my angel That kept me from falling apart "I am so sorry I was wrong!" "You're forgiven my child, With me you belong." "Who are you? And why are you here?" "I am your angel, Isn' that clear? You ran away Denied you needed help But here's a fact No one can make it by themselves Everyone is needy Helpless human beings, That is why God created, Your guardians with wings."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
