A whisper made it through the night
a  snap
a turn
a scream
darkness was our only cover
a boy
a girl
a scene
We didn't know one another
a soul
a girl
why me?
I barely knew him

“Ask away,” he said.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
Will to guard me with your life?
Do you even live like me?
Do you breath like me?
Do you sin like me?
Do you love like me?
“Yes, I do in fact love,”
How can you be sure?
“Because I know I love you.”
I smile and nod.
Thank you God.

You can laugh  -  I can scream
You can play  -  I can hide
You can jump  -  I can run
You can sway  -  I can lie
Does anyone know what's wrong with me?
Is something wrong with my mind?
You tell me not to fear,
but it's not just my mind I run from.
It's the truth - and that means you.
Trust me.
It's not my mind.

You are to save my soul, I know.
To protect me and keep temptation far.
My Angel now I ask you, “Please,
will you save my soul this day?”
Protect me, guide me, tell me this-
“Whose soul am I to save?”
