A clash of metal
rings through my ear.
Children screaming
desperate with fear.
So deep and so dark.
Blackness surrounds me.
Looking around,
Is this where I should be?
I can hear singing
and one voice alone.
The sound is familiar.
Oh how I want to go home.
Listening closer,
I want to see,
Who is this voice,
Beckoning me.
I love you.
The voice does say.
Come back.
Don't be this way.
Come back my dear.
I miss you so much.
I want to look into your eyes,
And feel your touch.
Those powerful words,
Wrap me around.
Keeps pulling me out,
Where I can be found.
I open my eyes.
What do I see.
A wonderful face,
Looking at me.
The face of the voice,
I can now see.
Beautiful she is.
My angel saved me.
Her love pulled me back,
From an eternal sleep.
Pulling me onward,
So no one would weep.
