The Ballad To My Angel
Come my way, be my guardian,
 Take me from this living he**
 My heart pains to be with you,
 To leave this d***ed, cold cell
 
 Spread your wings, black with death
 Caress me like you always do
 Protect me from the demons inside
 I promise my heart will stay true
 
 Take your sword, pure of light
 Dipped in the waters of His Holiness
 Strike down evil where it stands 
 Destroying the wicked, saving the blessed
 
 Eyes filled with the thirst to kill
 Arms covered with stitches and scars
 Dried with blood, tired from battle
 Wishing I hadn’t been taken so far
 
 Mi angelito, my little angel
 Rest your head on my shoulder
 I’ll clean you off, clothe you, give you food
 I’ll love you forever and moreover
 
 “I will never leave you
 I will never lie
 I’ll never stop protecting you
 And never bring tears to your eyes.”
 
 His massive hands rested on my cheeks
 A beat, my heart did miss
 He leaned and planted on my lips
 A sweet, feather light kiss
 
 My eyelids grew heavy
 My legs grew unstable
 I tried to walk but
 I wasn’t able…to
 
 I heard the singing voices
 As seraphim filled the air
 Heaven called down to me
 The feeling was true and fair
 
 To our room, he carried me
 And laid me on the bed,
 Gently as a newborn, 
 He placed a pliant kiss on my head.
 
 “I’ll always love you, 
 My beautiful wife,
 But God is calling me
 I must leave this life.”
 
 I felt his tears
 As he tried to stay
 But the window opened
 And he flew away.
 
 I stand by the windows
 Where he left me alone
 I look at our children,
 Wiser they’ve grown
 
 And wait patiently
 As the fire in me burns
 For I know that one day
 He will soon return.
