Beast

(For my friend)

If I could save you, albeit briefly

Nothing would stand in my way.

If I could force you to see the sunlight,

Strength and shine you softly simmer

Into people’s lives. And make you

Believe it. You would be unstoppable.

If I could take away that dirty germ

That cackles in your head (malicious)

And be your friend, mother, sister, all

In place of that unjust beast, I would.

There is nothing you cannot do,

And I will never stop reminding you.

There is a gentle humming of angel's wings

Above my head, like weightless wind chimes

And it is you who keeps the music playing

You who keeps me in the realms of sanity.

If I could cleanse you, help you sleep,

Take away your sigh, keep you strong,

Warm your heart, calm you down-

If I could be your angel, I’d risk

Even the bumpiest fall back to earth.
