Earth Angel

The rain beats like bullets
As I lay here in my bed.
Unable to move.
My heart full of dread.
The phone keeps on ringing,
But his voice isn't what I hear.
It is the hospital calling to tell me
That they have brought to life my biggest fear.
The panic washes over me.
My tears are all I feel.
They said he tried to get out of the way,
But lost control of the wheel.
I know I should go see him.
I know he'd do it for me.
But I don't think I can be as strong
As I'm supposed to be.
He was on his way to see me
Because I was feeling sad.
He promised that he'd make me smile,
But now he never can.
I miss him so much.
Words can't define
How much I love him
And the pain I feel inside.
God, why did you take him away from me
When he was still so young?
Memories barely made.
His life had just begun.
Now everyday I have to face
His solemn empty desk.
A constant reminder
Of a life taken too soon.
What do I make of this mess?
My earth angel is gone.
He finally got his wings.
He's flown away to Heaven
Where his soulful voice will forever ring.
