Angel

by BrokenMisery   Oct 5, 2005


Masking weakness in human clay.
Breaking the pressure that built the day.
Stretching to the sky but falling to the deep,
I've lost control of all I keep.

And I fall to my knees in desperate plea,
As blood stains my soul in this decree,
The stitches bind wings onto my back,
Colour like death, as dark as black.

Seeking the day in the darkness of night,
I played the game that lost my sight.
The pressure is building as my skin erodes,
My skeleton in waking, the dawn has rose.

And I fall to my knees in desperate plea,
As blood stains my soul in this decree,
The stitches bind wings onto my back,
Colour like death, as dark as black.

In the morning my face is revealed,
Breaking to pieces and never healed.
I'm not in heaven, I'm an angel to deceive,
I'm the angel of the devil this eve.

The wings carve my back into this dreadful sight,
Preying on the weak in the darkness of night.

    You picked the right topic for this . It is beyond dark . In the begining I thought it was going to be another one of those cut poems that I've been reading so many of . But you proved me wrong . This poem is truly deep, it leaves the reader wondering and makes them have to go read it all over again . Well at least thats what I did . You are an exceptional artist, you're brilliant . I might not be as wise about poetry as most poets are, but I know poetry because thats who I am . So now you see why you recieved so many. " I'm speechless ." comments, or one worded comments . Because thats what you do, you leave us speechless . I mean you almost left me speechless, and I tell you thats very, very, rare . So keep up the good work . I'm placing you in my favorites so that I can keep up with you .

    you're friend
