My Angel

You say you care
And that you'll always be there.
So if you're here,
Why am I alone and filled with fear?
I know I’m being selfish and it's really about you,
But don't you understand the pain I’m going through?
I wanted you to stay longer and teach me more,
But it ended with “bye” and me walking out your door.
You said we were “the children of God”,
And all I could do was cry and nod.
If only I had a few more minutes to tell you what I thought.
You reached out your arm and three times you were shot.
I’m sorry for the way they treated you.
We would have done something, if only we knew.
You are my angel from God, with teachings and sweet things to say.
Too bad my angel had to fly away…
