Angel (revised and edited)

Your whole life I've been watching you
Tears brimming in my eyes
You started pure and innocent
Naive to this world's lies

You were so young and beautiful
Perfect in every way
With my love you were growing strong
You would do great things someday

But I got too complacent
And soon your life went down
Through a darkened haze I watched you
As you began to drown

My poor little angel
I cannot dry your tears
I wish I could make it better
But I can't take back those years.

Why could you never hear me mum?
I screamed so loud, so long
The the clouds of distractions you couldn't see
My life was quite so wrong

You lie curled up in the darkness
Your wings black and torn
I am helpless I can do nothing
Except watch you as you mourn

Well you sure as hell can see my tears
Now I've lost all reason to fight
This is what it took me
To give you back your sight

Slowly you turn to face me
Tears falling from your blue eyes
I catch a glimpse of that innocent child
Broken by hate and lies

You killed me Mum, though you didn't know
Your defiance signed my death sentance
You never saved me you couldn't help
Now you'll live out your repentance

I'm so sorry my fallen angel
I saw you but I denied
It was only when you fell silent
I knew you had died inside.
