The Naked Snow Angel

I sat on top of the roof
Just staring at the stars
Wondering who will I meet in my future?
Wondering where you are

It was freezing cold outside
I could see my breath in the air
I had a blanket wrapped around me
And nothing else under there

This was the night to end my worries
I was going to end all my fears
No more beatings from daddy
A stop to all my tears

I climbed down the ladder by my garage
Barefoot now in the snow
I’m sorry mom and dad
I just feel it’s my time to go

No one has ever killed themselves this way
I wanted to give it a try
Oh this ice on my feet hurt
I already started to cry

I laid the blanket on the snow
There were 5 inches on the ground
Thankfully it was 1 o’ clock
And not one person was around

I started to bury myself in snow so cold
My naked body soon to be froze
Just with it on my stomach and breast
I couldn’t feel above my toes

Hypothermia starting to now kick in
My body starts to quiver and shake
I was buried with only my face sticking out
Then all of a sudden I felt a quake

A man I could not see
Was pulling snow off of me
I felt half dead already
I could barely even see

I felt him pick me
I remember thinking “your going to get raped”
Ready to get handcuffed
Ready for my mouth to be taped

He took me to his home
Laid me on his bed
With himself on top of me
He pulled five blankets over our heads

It was the strangest moment ever
For this man did not a thing
His warm body hurt to the touch
I had no idea what he was doing

After I cam to my senses
With still my mouth purple and blue
I said, “can I ask what your doing?
And who the heck are you”

Before he even spoke
I was so embarrassed of my nakedness
No man has ever seen me nude
And here I was showing him my breasts

“Miss I was just trying to keep you warm
Before your heart wanted to stop
The only way I could do that
Was with blankets and laying on top

I was just sitting watching a movie
When something told me to go outside
That’s when I see you my dear
Trying to commit suicide”

Now its some years later
I will never forget that night
It made me believe in a God
And a reassurance that everything would be alright

I am married to that teenage boy
So proud to be known as his wife
If it wasn’t for that voice he heard
10 years ago he wouldn’t have saved my life
