Angel

I remember when I sang your song
and you told me you loved me
and made me strong.
Wouldn't want to imagine living my life
without my precious angel.
Yet I suppose I have to
because she's made it perfectly clear
that she's uncomfortable when I am near.
Don't understand exactly why
but do know neither of us could know
which way our feelings would go
until we gave it a try.
Life is not always so easily understood.
Situations don't progress as we hope they would.
You learn to accept the bad along with the good.
Angel I remember when I sang your song
and you told me you loved me and made me strong.
You offered me all the beauty one man can stand
til you waved it away with an angel hand.
A time has come to let water flow under the bridge.
The water will continue to flow irregardless if our love dies or grows.
And I find myself missing her a little more or less each passing day.
Still I would love to hug and kiss my angel if she was not so far away.
Angel I remember when I sang your song and you told me you loved me and that made me feel so strong.
Now I feel I no longer belong in the angel arms of which I so eagerly long.

oh James ... youve written a beautiful, sincere song here...
playing the heartstrings for sure.
trust me SBJ you'll kiss angels again.
very well done poet sir.

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

James, your personal narratives are a wonderful venue for self expression. Keep writing, sharing, reflecting.

I am totally speechless. This poem is like Deja Vu. It's sounds like something an someone once told me. (if your wondering, that is a good thing) I liked it very much.

It's amazing how much sense that line means to me as I have gone through the same type of heartache and just when it seems you're gaining some ground toward recovery it seems you slip back into that old hurt.....Something comes along and tags your heart with a memory and well there you are in tears again!!

Well written James!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
