Imperfect Guardian

A New Guardian Angel

You’re missing your angel

Your imperfect guardian—

On her wings you would fly

Not soar, perhaps,

But so long as you could glide

You were happy

But now you fall

Fall

Fall

Fall

Down in a spiral

Without her arms to catch you

Without her strength to carry you

Without her love to reassure you

And so you keep falling

Down

Down

Down

With no end in sight

Darkness surrounds you

Darkness

Dark

Dark

Dark

Until a small light blinds you

And my hand grabs you

And pulls you back up

As you hold me up as well

Now we fly through the darkness

Learning to glide once more

Without her guidance

Together
