The Angel burst through my skin
And in that moment I was One with Him 
The impervious, the crystalline 
And some people do hard time 
Trying to live up to
A purpose they are longing to 
Embody
And shoddy 
I wander the streets
Til something in me meets 
The end of the road
So I lay down the load
And ask to be taken to the sky
It is not the same as to die
I whisper to Stephen 
That there are things I can’t help believing 
And I tell him that I write
He flexes his eyebrows and I wonder if the sight
Will ever leave my mind
That he did not leave me behind 
In that moment true
Like she had done too 
In the moments that we held 
And she weld 
Her steel to the iron 
It masks the way I’m lying 
About all I am 
And the plan
Scares me to death
And I spill the regret 
That I’ve been holding in my soul 
To someone who would roll 
The waves upon my shore
He shone on me like an open door 
And in the midst of that smile 
I was okay for a while
