I Never Believed in Angels
By: Ashley Marie

I never believed in angels

I always had to take care of someone else
Myself always coming second, my needs always coming last
I grew up to fast they say but the needs of my family
Always on my mind, never having the chance to be a child

I always thought I was on my own
I had no support, no one guiding me
Had know one to watch out for me
Always looking back, to afraid to look ahead

Never had a reason to live
Never had a reason to play it safe
Always one step across the line, never a way to go back
No one to hold me when the dreams of the past haunted me

No one to tell me they loved me
No one to give me that push, to help me reach for what is to high
Never had one to kiss me
Share my dreams with

Someone to look forward too
Coming home was a task
Wanted to stay out
Party with the friends
The dark my enemy

But then my angel came
Came to my rescue
Telling me that I was worth
All the love that he had to give
Letting me face the dark with someone

Giving me a shoulder to cry on
Arms to wrap around my body, to keep me warm from the storm
And protect the baby in my pregnant body
We made in the dark, the baby we mad in our love
My guarding angel made me want to live

Made me look forward
Telling me to leave all the demons, he would fight them
Letting me know I didn't have to, shouldering that weight for me
I never believe in angels until I met you
