An Angel's Sorrow

I wait in silence,

Watching the world in sorrow.

I can barely contain my tears,

Feeling pity for these mortals.

I want to help them,

Want to save them.

Many are too blind to see,

Unaware of their impeding self-created doom.

They're too busy with their lives,

Unable to see what they're doing to themselves.

They've lost their path to light,

Most walking the path to darkness instead.

They need our help,

But some won't accept it.

We can't reveal ourselves,

Out of fear of causing chaos.

Mortals fear what they cannot understand,

And so we hide ourselves.

We'll keep on waiting and watching,

Helping those that we can.

Perhaps one day,

They'll open their eyes.

Hopefully they'll realize,

And return to Light.

For now I shall wait,

As I always do.

I'll keep weeping for them,

Help them when I can.
