*this was written by a friend, about me, he asked to remain nameless, but granted permission to share. I bawled like a baby when I read it, and its awfully long but to know someone loves me for this, I had to share (shared exactly as received)** There's an earth-bound angel alone in the dark again tonight Tears in her eyes slide down her face she sits on her bed fighting the night wanting only to be an impossibility To sleep forever never to awaken a peace so far out of reach she cries every night a silent wish no one will hear a prayer sent up to the heavens wanting simply to disappear only she knows her purpose in this place she's here for one reason only to be there for the rest to use They only see her as what they need Someone to talk to during their trials She is just an angel that they do not see She'll sit in the dark crying tears to herself Wishing she could do what they do but Earth is her personal hell She is something to everyone, yet not someone always alone never in company does her pain come out the scars and tears are hidden just a part of her job things no one sees She's been there for everyone a shoulder an ear or a hug advice on loss of loved ones a problem child a cheating spouse the death of pets or inevitable growing apart She gives counsel to the wounded and aid to the sick and those in love She'll take your pain and make it her own that you need not go through the hurt she'll bend and bend so others won't break always letting others take the easy path they give up their wounds so that she can heal them like new never asking for quarter during her own times of need I watch her these nights as she cries out the pain that she's made her own lonely does not describe this angel sent down from above she's empathic and if she's your friend thanks to her your burdens are lessened because she'll take your pain for you she'll go through the fires of hell so you won't have to The act of the tears she sheds in the dark alone each night are her way of making room for more pain and hurt from others like you she'll sit in the quiet and secretly wish that she did not have to endure all of the rain Yet while she'll pray for everyone else's joy and happiness she would never think to ask for her own To her that would be wrong to waste a prayer on herself when it would better be used to save someone else You see that she thinks of herself as unworthy the pain is hers to endure why would it be alright for her to want something better a night without tears or a day without pain when she would much rather that you not have to suffer But if everyone who let her be their balm if they would just take the time to see her hearts desire maybe someone would see that her truest secret wish is for someone to be for her what she is to the rest of the world It would take just one a very unique person to be a shoulder an ear or a hug when the angel has had simply too much too much pain ache and despair that her heart cannot rest and not enough tears she could shed that would ever give her the peace of someone noticing her as she is and taking her from something that is used only when needed then tossed aside like yesterday's rubbish that is not worth touching Sad if you think about it that this angel goes without sleep because she cares too much for others to want the same thing for herself Just once for someone to take some of the hurt pain or anger and remind her that she's not just here for the job all it takes is for someone to love her the way she loves all others To show her the same unconditional emotion to take away some of her pain to stand up by her side when she has to deal with the rain Yet as I watch over her I know its highly unlikely there exists another soul like hers another heart so pure as to wish others never see hurt as it goes she's an earth bound angel the one her friends all know is there when they need her and not there when they're not in need They will all move on like they have done in the past and she will still go through a living hell here on earth to make sure that their happiness lasts |
