Angel of Music

To one girl in this world I am the Angel of Music
A Counter-tennor who can out-sing most Soprano’s
A white knight who guides and guards my love through trial and tribluation
To one girl I am the Angel of Music

To myself I must wonder, Angel, Father, Friend or Phantom?
Which am I?
If I am indeed an Angel, it seems the Angel has fallen to Hell
Damned to an eternity of being torn this way and that by all those around him
Only to be forced to ignore his true calling and his true Angel

Though she calls me her Angel of Music,
Others call me so many other things
How can I be the Angel of anything,
When I feel so tortured, so torn, and so worn down.

Then perhaps I am an Angel,
Everyone prays to the Angels to put in a good word for them with the Almighty
And these days it does seem as though everyone is turning to me for the answers
Even those who perhaps are too old to be.
At first I was proud, and excited to have such a large role in the lives of my family
But now, it seems more of a weight that I am damned to drag around behind me wherever I go,
Bound and Chained just like Jacob Marley was whe he came to Scrooge

Behid it all, as though the forgotten child
Lies my love
My Angel,
The one true beauty in the world
The one thing that has kept my sanity through all this
And while I am being torn this way and that by the demons in Hell
I keep my eyes fixed on the heavens and my Angel.

My only regret is that I am unable to provide for her the happiness and stability she does for me
That I can’t be a better Angel,
I regret that I seem to take all my wrath and frustration out on her,
I am so happy she is here, and I can’t think of one way to express it that is worthy of all she has done

So who is the true Angel of Music?
Is it me?
The Angel bound in Hell but dreams of beauty and a life in Heaven?
Or is it the fair, red haired Angel singing the Aria’s of Bach and Handel?
Angel, Father, Friend, or Phantom
Who is it there Staring?
