Oh blessed angel with clean of mind,
Won't you heal these wings of mine?
I am weighed down by pain and guilt,
I can't give back your innocent blood that was spilt.
Your haunting smile burns in my head,
I still see that smile, though you are dead.
Why is it I feel this pain?
Why is it my wings forever stained?
I watched you cry in my arms,
I held you tight to protect you from harm.
You came to me covered in bruises and eyes with tears,
I was the only one in your life you honestly didn’t fear.
You loved me and I loved you,
“I love you.” You always would gently coo.
Why is it I feel this pain?
Why is it my wings forever stained?
I watched you leave, no words were said,
I found out the next morning that you were dead.
Pain hid behind the contentment in your eyes,
You now lay silent after your tormented cries.
Buried in black and gray,
I still find myself begging for you to stay.
Why is it I feel this pain?
Why is it my wings forever stained?
I gave you my heart to keep forever,
No I will regret it for ever and ever.
I trust no one with my fragile heart,
I feel it will just fall apart.
My soul is gone, my heart is broken,
I still remember your words you had spoken.
Why is it I feel this pain?
Why is it my wings forever stained?
I watched as they lowered you six feet deep,
I felt myself begin to weep.
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," is what I said,
"It's all my fault you ended up dead.
Your crimson forever stains my skin,
It's all because I didn't stop you from committing your sin.”
Why is it I feel this pain?
Why is it my wings forever stained?
Please forgive me, ease my pain,
Stop my tears that run like rain.
Heal the wounds that tear my heart,
Stop the pieces from falling apart.
Please say you will forgive,
Please say you will give me back the will to live.
Oh blessed angel with clean of mine,
Help me by healing these broken wings of mine.

This was my favorlite part I LOVE the wording of it and well this is a beautiful poem! -
Very moving
I liked the rhythm, I have had some similar experiences. I haven't felt this kind of sadness since I lost my uncle to suicide. Tragic death, he was drunk and had a fight with his girlfriend. My grandparents didn't find him until next morning. Still tragic death. That is what this poem reminds me of. Thank you for sharing this pain, I believe that we all understand that kind of pain.
