My Angel, My Soul

I asked her not to say it
I asked her not to care,
I warned her she would get hurt;
she must have took it as a dare.

She fancied herself a bird
soaring on the carefree wind,
she flew high above I ever could
she was everybodys friend.

With feet skimming the water
and finger brushing tree tops
she had no a care in the world
that is, until her world stopped.

She fell with shattered wings
feathers glittering as they flew away
the light in her eyes, it glowed no more
and darkness came to play.

Now here I suppose I could say
Honey, didn't I tell you so?
but I've been where she so suddenly is
so I just held her tight and promised never to let go...
