Floating by

 I am a soft black-winged angel
Floating by and watching
All the world's misery
Unfolding carefully
I look at people and they're blind
They don't see my wings
Some of them try and some of them cry
Over their lost things
I wonder whether they'll call on me
And every once in a while they do
Because to be honest, I can do nothing
Until I have a calling to answer to
My shade drops over wherever I go
I am more sad than I'll ever know
Some people told me to fall in love
And watch what effect that'll have
I wonder the same thing sometimes myself
But as I wonder, I remain and wander
I never get the chance to talk cause I find myself
Always stuck in a situation down further
I try my best to grab their arms gently
Guide and direct them towards freedom
Avoid blocking the sun with the shade around me
Give them back to the people who need them
Cause in this world we're who we know
Our connections are all that means much
And so people should never be on their own
Always have someone to keep in touch
Ironically that contradicts my theories
About the time when I'll feel comfort
When I'm all alone away from my family
And my friends that I've known not
In a place where I'm a total stranger
Full of strangers
With no dangers
Protected by my own softness
Communicating bare minimum, remaining cautious
Find a place where I can be alone
Work my job and go back home
Break my bones through sticks and stones
And patch myself up when I need
Rebuild my person from within
Lose all connection to vanity
Be fulfilled with what I earn
Make enough to support my hobbies
A peaceful life is what I ask in return
For all the things I've done
I earned an endless restful respite
A place for resting eternally
Once I've got no more to fight
I love you all and I will miss you
But I wish to cause no pain or harm
And what is love but a simple promise
That one day one of you
Will break the other's heart
