You were ever so careful on that day
But still the angels took you away
Long gone, out of sight
But never once out of my mind
You couldn’t be any more careful that day
Making sure the current didn’t pull you away
From the ones that surround you;
The ones that never even knew
They didn’t see what I saw
They didn’t see the scars etched in your skin
Nor the ones that decorate your mind
That you once brought me there to find
How careful were you when you let me stay
Gentle not to shatter my already broken pieces
Ever so careful when the darkness led the way
Lighting a fire, as danger’s song quickly ceases
Ever so careful; as careful as can be
But no matter how hard you fought to be free
The angels still came to take someone away
I would’ve done anything to make you stay
But I was gone and you were away
The dreadful outcome, we couldn’t say
The choice you made was then too late...
Resulting in your perilous fate
Your presence is in everything you left behind
These empty rooms are graced with your voice
And those gentle words, we couldn’t find
Remain unsaid, but this time not by choice
You were ever so careful and now you are free
And the rain still falls as if meant to be
Though how much I wish you could stay
Still the angels took you away
