Array ( [sid] => 11634 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Angels Gone [time] => 2003-01-30 07:00:00 [hometext] => This poem is something I wrote for a course that I'm currently taking, but it has a lot of personal emotion in it. Please let me know what you think. And be brutally honest. [bodytext] => Her face bruised
her body beaten
cold eyes staring
blankly towards the heavens

Hair matted with blood
breasts slashed
their beauty ruined
blood staining the body of an angel

The lights penetrate
through the window
red and blue, red and blue
one of those calls you pray you never get

The phone rings
the woman answers it
and drops the receiver
praying to God that they have the wrong number

Hundreds of people
no one knew how many cared
most are crying
I can’t seem to find the tears for her

All emotion has left me
my best friend is being lowered
the tears still won’t come
she is too young for this to be true

Years later
see her mother at the mall
no hellos are exchanged
we each blame ourselves

Should have seen it coming
could have stopped it
would have taken her place
if only I had been there a little earlier

God has taken one of his angels home.
We were unfit to keep her. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 39 [informant] => jasonw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
Angels Gone
