At the edge and a doorway,TX

She sits high above the rest

Seeing what others can't

Thoughts of the way that the world would be if she could save them all

Who is she to choose

Who is she

The one broken angel

Little wings that cease to fly

Stop taking her to the level that helps her extend the arm of love

Her days are filled with dreams that outlast all other things in life

She is the one who they turn to on lonely nights

But who

Who loves her

Who cherishes her thoughts, dreams, and ideas

As she looks down the streets seem empty

Except for the lonely stranger from a far

The one that she calls The Knight

His words of praise ring high

High enough to touch her ears

His tears are heart-felt and free flowing

Real

He is strong

To bone and core

Everything that she needed

One tear drop falls from her face as a single thought runs through her mind

Will he ever know just how much she loves Him

Her tears are not heard

Muffled by her own pride

The broken angel sits alone and waits to see the story unfold

Love,

Lady



Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured.

Don't worry...angels are looking for knights and knights are looking for angels...sometimes they meet and things happen...James

Once uon an angel I was in love and things worked out so well that we were in constant heaven........and this happens! I enjoyed reading this!

Lady,
no gentleness needed here. This is outstanding. I love the broken wing reference, and the longing is surreal.
But THIS

One tear drop falls from her face as a single thought runs through her mind
Will he ever know just how much she loves Him
Her tears are not heard
Muffled by her own pride
The broken angel sits alone and waits to see the story unfold


I simply loved!!!!!


May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

Well expressed. Sometime angels can fall in love with other angels.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.
