last of the old poems, time for some new.


Angel of Death

Angel of death,
Why must you wait,
Cant you see me, why wont you take
Take my soul to damnation
It's waited so long for a transformation

I have watched this girl, I've never known
Live my life like it's her own
Take me away, take me home.
For this is a place that I have never known
How many nights I've sat here and prayed
That my guardian angel would save the day
No guardian angel, not for me
He's my angel of death
Oh, cant you see?
The reason I cry, the reason I bleed
The devil has got me, I have been deceived

I thought him an angel from the lord above
But tonight I realize, enough is enough,
No angel from God would cause this pain
He's just a man no savior to claim,
What an illusion I had fallen for
What a fool I am for playing around
For letting my angel knock me down

A blind little girl who had nothing to lose
Was oh so wrong and oh so confused,
So much to lose but I trusted him
but he took it away and broke it again
Before I could breathe before I could see
I was broken again, guardian angel..
Uh huh I see.
Oh Guardian angel, who brings me death
Please walk away
There's nothing more, there's nothing left.

This poem is extremely well written. You can't rush those angels...they have their own time frame you know. Hope all is well with you.

You take the journey and come through well here....I look forward to your new work. Smiling at you, Tai, thinking an Angel is an angel whether wearing black or white....all in good time.

your words here depict such personal pain. I feel the complete exhaustion and emptiness of life in your expressions. There's much sorrow here in these words. Well done.
