Wounded Angel

  Wounded Angel


 My sad  friend.
Please smile for me.
Stay with me by the sea all night.


Your world has fell apart.
You don't know right from wrong.
Desperate acts had left you feeling
dirty and insulated from everyone.


Please take my hand.

Walk with a man who swims in s**t most
of his life.


Ain't no real Angels on this Earth.
Only us struggling to make amends.


We all must do things we are ashamed of.
World isn't clean anymore.
Not enough helping hands.


Ain't no pity for the people in plight today.
I know we get fatigue and humiliated to
believing we are worthless and destitute.


Broken Angel.
Please take my hand.
Walk with a contaminated man.
Jaded kisses and broken promises had
left me empty.
The not so sweet taste of life has turn me bitter.


The sad woman whisper.
"I'm a dumping ground for men
who want to use and abuse.
I don't mean much to no-one."


I  touch her face.
I tell her.
"We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you to beg for mercy."


"Ain't no easy road.
Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away."


"Find a better path to be on.
Kinder  and better people."


Please my broken Angel walk with me.
Take my hand.
The new day is rising from the East.

"We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you to beg for mercy."

"We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you to beg for mercy."

This reminds me of something I saw once that said "keep your chin up because there's those begging to see you fall." Greater meaning in your words though. Thank you for this piece.

Your world has fell apart
Your world has fallen apart (if there was no has you could use fell)

insulated
Probably meant isolated
Isolated: Having minimal contact or little in common with others
Insulated: To prevent the passage of heat, electricity, or sound into or out of, especially by surrounding with a nonconducting material.

swam not swims (present and past tense confusion)
Also this line breaks up the flow because it is so long.

This reminds me of something else you have written about angels, but I can't remember which one. Overall a good poem, flow is a little choppy in some places but overall really good.

An amazing view into ones instincts and reality into what some see as an alternate universe.

[Andrew Wright/Darkness2..]

There's nothing I could add to more complete this feeling you've portrayed... Thank you.

[Breezie Kae]

Wow. This is such a sweet poem. And it's true. It has a very intimate feel to it.

[Desert Dreamer]

There are many broken angels in this world, and as long as we are alive a new sun will rise in the morning giving us another chance. These are words of hope.
