This Angel

Too many times this angel has fallen.
I can not resist when love starts callin'.
It's a sad thing, but this heart has learned.
It no longer wishes to reach out and get burned.
So many hold me, but they know from the start.
Though I wish it were different, I have warm hands and a cold heart.

We see so many here that sail that same boat ... so sad that some have to sail against the wind watching others sailing with it
nicely done

Perhaps I am lucky after all, insofar as mine is only once destroyed.
at least you tried again

TA
I really love thsi poems emotions
sincere and honest...
I relate as well...
though I will always be drawn to the flame..
I guess the fire is worth getting burned..
take care, jm

you can say baby
baby can I hold you tonite
maybe if I said the right words
at the right time
you'd be mine
baby can I hold you tonite

Listening to every heart

May your warm hands
clasp your mind
and try love again
another time

when your heart then
begins to sing
listen to your mind
so no red flag goes 'ker-ching!'

Good luck next time around, TA!< !signature-->

love the ending here...the willingness to try one's hand at love again despite his many disappointments....like the subtle implication here

Here's hoping you try again!

I think you have a warm heart. It's evident in the way you express yourself.

You're responses are all so kind.  Everyone has been so good to me here.  This little verse came out a little more depressing than I had intended.  I haven't given up on love or anything crazy like that.  I'm still patiently waiting.  

ethome --  Thank you for such a lovely comment.  It meant a lot.
