Guardian Angel

The man clad in black convinces me to follow

I keep my distance

But I can’t turn back

He leads me to his home

I’m a prisoner in his best room

I stay alone in silence

I can only wait for the worst

One day he’s there before my eyes

He insists on something I cannot say

All I do is deny

There is nothing I can do but retreat into my mind

But I feel nothing

I see the light, such warmth

There in the door stands a man

He glows like the golden sun

My eyes lock his

He moves in slow motion

A stranger

And yet I feel no fear

A loud yell emerges from my captor

The stranger grows near

“It’s impossible for you to be here.

She doesn’t want you anymore.”

Anymore

I must know him

Memories flood back

I need to go with him

Him, or no one else.

His face close to mine

His eyes ask a million questions

But one above all else

Go with me?

Tears in my eyes

I nod yes

For an angel is before me

And I love him more than life

The golden light engulfs me

I’m lifted from my darkened state

I’m warm and free

As his arms carry me back from hell
