Iron Jawed Angel

She said, "mijo, no te preocupes" but every time I hear those words They make me feel useless. I see her busted open on the kitchen floor. She kisses my tears and tells me not to worry anymore. What do you know about crying to the sky? I watched her whole life pour right out of her eyes. Too many times I've seen her cry herself to sleep. I would've taken every hit if it meant she slept in peace. "My iron jawed angel don't you cry". The spirit of hope is leaving. (It's leaving) I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling) She hides the fact she's bleeding. (She's bleeding) I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling) Now I'm asking why? Spirit unmatched. Her face was black and blue but she's still so beautiful. She holds me. We dance. A sea of painful memories starts to pour right out of me. I'd kill the world, I'd kill the gods just to bring her peace but when I hear her lovely Voice scream it brings me to my knees. I melted in her arms as she kissed me goodnight. I whispered back, "one day I'll make this right." All hope is leaving. (It's leaving) I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling) She hides the fact she's bleeding. (She's bleeding) I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling) Now I'm asking why? Old man this one's to you: you fucking coward you know you don't Deserve her, because in the end I know you'll just desert her. The way you struck her just showed how much you loved her. A simple "sorry" just can't replace what you took from her.
