"Angel"

you are my angel

you gave me love
when i had known only hate
you showed me life
when all i saw was death

angel
i could never live
if you left me
for the heaven you deserve

i am selfish
angel
i want you
only mine

am i wrong
to need you like this
angel
tell me

is it right to love you
like this
here
in this place

you don't belong
in this dark place
from which i have come
is not a place
you need to see

but angel
you saved my soul

as much as it hurts
to see your perfection
marred by the suffering
you endure
to be with me

i am glad
that you are here
angel
with me

what would i do
without you

i believe that i would die
