fear and prison

I was surrounded by desperate women
Battered women beaten by their husbands
Pregnant women who didn't have much to eat
Women who are falsely accused
Women who are accuased
Women who are mentally ill without proper treatment
Women who don't have money
Women who won't have a home to go to
Women who dreamed of many things I took for granted
Pens, paper, food, movies, money, family - the gifts of God
and they go to god to purify their souls and hope for release and redemption
A better life so to speak
Their reports would be about their crimes and their sins

I don't want to be in prison
for a crime I commit but cannot remember
Selective amnesia
Hearing voices
Maybe what I want to hear from my angels
is what I know without confirmation and signs
but a deep faith in knowing
what I must do
but don't step ahead of myself without
slowing down for the answer

My prince

My Prince - you kept your promise
by watching over me
as a guardian angel
wearing your suit of amour
their wings spread wide
You protected me by telling me what to do
and I learn now that I have
no choice but to obey
and pray for your wisdom and guidance
and that each time I felt you say, "I love you"
it really meant, "I will guide you to the light"
Keep me awake when I'm weak
and return my strength when I sleep
and keep strong, my Prince, my Lord
for you always said,
"I am your King and your soulmate and your husband
and I shall be your guide forevermore
during your desperate time of silence and of need and of crisis,
and I shall help you when you cry
and I will love you until the end of time."

My prince hold me tight
as if I knew the way
and don't ever let me go
