Angels (2) Poem by Jorge Arturo Valles Anguiano

I used to fly,
I used to be an angel,
then I got shot by a hunter,
I fell in the middle of darkness,
I couldn't fly, one of my wings were hit,
then I remember I was asking for help,
I felt like no one would come to save me.

I waited for hours there,
and it was become more dark,
I started to see eyes everywhere,
and then I noticed that my wings were turning black,
I was scared,
I was loosing hope...

At point of dying,
I remember that someone came,
she was crying and smiling,
she looked as my saviour,
my love,
my angel,
after this I fell sleep.

Then I woke up on my bed,
it was all a dream,
but that face...,
I will remember it,
even if it was a dream.

I decided to take a walk through the streets,
I had some money to buy some chips since I wanted some,
while walking,
I found a girl,
she seemed to have the same age as me,
I started to look around to see if there was any adults around,
I didn't see any so I asked her,
'Do you have parents? Or any familiar? '
with her head she said,
'No',
she looked lonely,
so I sat at her side,
and I started to talk with her,
she seemed to be happy,
that was pretty satisfying to me,
I gave her all the money I had,
she stared at me,
and I saw on her eyes tears,
and gave me a smile full of tears,
then through my mind the face of the angel that saved me came,
I was surprised,
I talked to her about it,
and hold her hand and took her to my house,
I told my parents about this,
I asked them that if she could stay with some familiars,
and they agreed.

When we reached our destiny,
the girl seemed to be impressed and happy,
she looked at me again with a big smile,
and hug me,
I said on her ear that I'd visit her when I can...

Days later,
she was assigned to the same classroom as me,
I stayed with her the whole day,
after school we walked to my parents' home,
we saw some hooded and she got scared,
we keep walking our way to home,
then she told me,
'They're following us'
then she told me to follow her since she knows this streets,
she bringed me to a safe place and we hid for a while,
then one of the hooded found us and I saw his knife on my eyes,
then I saw the girl's hand holding the knife,
I was impressed and scared,
then she kicked him,
and hold my hand and ran to my parents home,
we explained everything to our parents and they called the police,
we stayed on the protection of the police for some time.

The next day,
nothing happened,
but I started to feel a love feeling to her,
she saved me as in that dream...
