A Late Angel

I already know what you did.
I already know what happened.
I already saw that moment.
I realized things are worse than I would have ever imagined.

Wow, what kind of friend am I?
I never realized the pain you were in.
Jeeze I really screwed up, huh?
I can’t believe I was so blind to what was happenin’.

Hey! Don’t turn away!
Let me be here now.
Why don’t you lead me through it?
Tell me what this entire mess is truly about.

So there was some kind of fight,
Between you and your mother…?
But what about that bruise?
What do you mean you got it from your father?

What do you mean they’re alcoholics?
They were always so kind…
What do you mean they frequently beat you?
Gosh listening is making me lose my mind!

How could I not see this?
No it wasn’t your fault!
Wait, what do you mean you hid it?
Don’t you trust me at all?

You know what?
Just forget it.
It’s just too awful.
It’s all too dramatic.

I hate that this happened!
What do you mean ‘what am I going to do’?
You’re not doing anything
Cause I’m going to make a promise right here to you.

I promise to take these wings of mine
And put them to use.
I’m going to wear them
And be able to protect you.

I know I haven’t been here,
So let me make it up
Let me help you
‘Cause you have had more than enough.

I will be your shadow,
I’ll follow you everywhere always.
I will be your knight
Coming on a white horse with gleaming sun rays
I will be your guardian
Protect you from the evil
I will be by your side,
Let me be your angel.

I don’t care what it takes,
Things will get better.
I don’t care what I need
I’ll fight ‘cause I’m your warrior.

When it’s cloudy or windy
I will make you alive.
You will always be bright,
even when bad times arrive.
I will become your light.
I will be your angel.
I’m made to protect you
From all of life’s Hell.
So take me now.
Accept me as your late Knight.
Because even though I’m late,
I’m here to make things right.
