Guardian Angel

I look outside the window
and wave good-bye
he hates to see me go,
but I just can't stay tonight

He writes me letters
and tells me he's gone away
to where this place is
he will not say

What he does say,
I cannot read a loud
the sting of his words paralyze my mouth

I will write them for you to read now
Whatever you may wish,
in your mind
or out loud

He says his time has come
and he cannot stay,
but I was the one
he will come back and save

  1. I really liked the rythym of your poem, it rhymed well. The third stanza was really cool, stinging and paralyzing were nice verbs. The only place where I think you could potentially improve is maybe adding a stanza that further reflects your feelings of sadness or longing. All together, it was a nice piece.
