Writing: Moment in Time - Guardian Angel

You have betrayed me, she said as she slowly turned her face to hide her tears. He had, he bitterly thought. She was always there, eager and willing to help him any time he needed her. He would never forgive himself for last night; for many nights before.

You refused to listen, she sadly spoke as she walked out the door. She was right, he screamed to himself. She guided him true for years, but he had lost hope. He took what he wanted and damned himself in the process. Last night was the culmination of his fall from her grace and for that she would leave.

When will you learn, she said as the door softly closed. Never, he cried as he sank to his knees. He would never learn now that she finally had enough. A guardian angel will only save you from yourself so much. He had learned that fateful lesson now. He stood up and looked out the window, watching the street through the streaking rain. He watched her walk away and never look back, never once blaming her. This was his damnation; his fault.
