My Guardian Angel
I met a boy once
who was playful and adventurous.
He always sought trouble
but was every parents dream.
I befriended a boy once
whose hazel eyes hid wonders,
his voice soothing,
his smile flawless.
I loved a boy once
he would play his guitar for me
and sing all of my favorite songs
happy and sad.
I knew a boy once
he was my best friend
I could tell him all my secrets
and count on him to be by my side.
I went to a funeral once
of a boy I loved so much.
A boy that hid dark secrets and burdens,
who felt lost amongst all of his friends.
A boy who committed suicide.
I saw an angel once
one night when I was asleep.
He took me on a journey,
to a place that shined so bright.
He told me that he was sorry
explaining how he wasn't happy,
that things were hard inside.
A constant battle within his mind,
that never seemed to subside.
I asked him why he didn't tell me,
afterall we were best friends.
He looked down at his feet and whispered,
'I didn't want them to hurt you too.'
I have a Guardian Angel now,
he'll forever be 17.
Though I miss him more than anything,
I know he's finally at peace.
