~Savior~
You were the savior I didn't ask for.
I never wanted to be saved.
You were the one who gave me a reason,
When I didn't have one anymore.
I wasn't much to begin with but you said you saw the beauty I wouldn't nurture.
I told you, you were crazy.
You never argued with me about it.
You made me smile though all I wanted to do was cry.
You gave me hope that wasn't there before.
We both know you didn't have to do that.
I couldn't look you in the eye knowing you stole my withered heart.
You wouldn't let me look away.
I never asked for an angel to guide me to the light.
You took the job without complaint.
As I look at your gravestone now I can't help but wonder,
Though you saved me, who was there to save you?
