She saved everyone
Giving them a part
Of herself
An angel of sorts
Meant to save
The damned  
All the while
Smiling

And her brilliance
Was blinding
Because she couldn't
Allow you to see
That while she
Was your saving grace

She was just as broken
And just as damned

-Trina
I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear

Sometimes the ones who are our heroes and saviors are troubled to the nth behind their eyes.

Indeed, those who give so much are often in more need than the ones they
try to save. Understanding this, jo

Giving to the givers is sometimes hard to do as they never learned to take for themselves.
Teaching them it is okay to take, is a gift of a lifetime. It is good to see you write on this subject...you always make your point loud and clear.  Good to read you again.

Some of those who give so much have nothing left to give themselves. Great write - very moving!

I found this write very powerful and it makes me thank God for those who suffer greatly yet give even greater for their reward will be awesome. Wonderful poem.

You masterfully convey a profound truth here, dear Trina. The joy that resides in the act of giving love usually converts into enough healing energy for the giver too, but it is something like a privileged channel from Above and leaves the giver still longing for signs of human demonstration of caring.

Very intense poem.

Love,
Margherita

indeed,
who can give
better
than one so poor
that she has to give her all,
who might care
better
than one who has
loved,
but loved too greatly?

Such raw sincerity and altruistic grace splashed into the quiver-beauty of a poem leaves me humbled in admiration.

I think I can only agree with others, Trina.
Thank you for sharing your poem!
