The angels may wonder why

why I'm used to getting hurt for love

they may argue, they may sigh

as they sing songs from above

the devils may smirk and laugh

on my pains and sorrows

hurts more than a cut in half

or aimed by countless arrows

just then, God asked me

"How much do you love him?"

I stopped and thought of it

"I love him more than it may seem"

I've heard the angels whispering

like the juries in court

as God kept on asking

"You love him, even if you're always hurt?"

I nodded a weak yes

thinking it might be best

not to explain and try to rest

but His questions seems endless

"Would you die for him?" He wondered

"Yes" I answered as I stepped forward

I am unsure if he ever heard

My breath now was shallow and hard

I once again stepped forward

and then tried asking

"Am I in trial my God?"

He was then startled, beaming

"My child, I ask you all these"

he continued "because I care..."

"...if he loves you, you'll be his..."

"...but will he still be there?"

I am shocked at the statement

the one I love will be taken away

But no matter how I beg and lament

I can't really make YOU stay

I cried but what could I do?

It's God's will, something I can't undo

I've loved you every single day

but why does He have to take you away?

Is this a trial I should overcome?

Is this a challenge on how strong my love is?

Because I'll love You, I'm so guilty

Rain keeps pouring as I left the jury

and then I wonder, do angels cry?

God whispered to me why...

"You love him my child, but I'm sorry..."

"...He'll be with me don't worry"
