Lost in Pain

I stumbled around,
Blindly,
Not knowing where to go. 
I walked around,
Past the forest,
Past the houses in this tiny town,
And past the small school. 
I searched for someone,
Something,
Anything,
That would reduce my pain. 

Then I saw it. 

I saw the cliff, 
The one where
Rocky waters churned
below,
Waiting. 
But for who?
Me?

I took a step 
forward,
Trembling. 
The chilly winter
Wind
Kissed my cheek. 
But onward 
I went. 
One step at a 
Time. 

I stood at the edge
Of the cliff now, 
Looking down. 
The dark,
Murky 
Waters were waiting. 
Patiently, but
definitely 
waiting. 

Then out of 
No where,
I hear thunder, 
then a crackle of 
lightning. 
Brilliant light shone
In front of
Me. 

Then she was there
In front of me. 
Stopping me. 
She was
Lovely. 

A pool of silk
Beside her,
Her face pale,
And her lips 
Rosy red. 

“It’s not worth it,”
She said calmly,
Smiling at me. 
Her voice was
Soothing. 
But I was stuck
On one
Question. 

How did this
Creature,
This angel,
Know what it
Was?
How did she know
I was lost,
Lost in pain?

Then she 
faded away,
Gradually dissolving
Into the frosty
Winter
Air.  

Then she was gone. 
I looked down
once more,
Pondering why she
Did this for me?

And that’s when it
Struck me. 

I didn't know who
That creature was,
but I knew
That was
my guardian angel.
