Her Angel Poem by BRandy Thomas

She lives in darkness
And wears pain like a cape
Most people don't see
Through the fake air of happiness

Night after night
She dodges a slap
She fights the tears
Looking for the light

She used to know why
She held on
She used to know the reason
Her words were all a lie

But now standing in the rain
Holding a gun
Hands shaking
She wants nothing but to end the pain

The thunder rolls
Her cell phone rings
It's her angel
A savior of lost souls

He'd never know
That he saved her
From her thoughts
Screaming for her to let go

But that night She
Dropped the gun
And found a reason
For herself to be

Now she laughs and a smile
Is never far away
Because
She's decided to stay awhile
