Hush my precious angel
You have fallen and broke your wings
Forgotten how to fly..
Forgotten why you fell
The world around us has not paused their lives in the aftershock
instead we sit miles apart..
with our heads in our hands and our hearts on the floor.
Our souls will never be free
Our minds will forever be haunted by one anothers presence
Hush my precious angel
I cannot withstand to hear your cries
Your begging for me to stay and hold you just one moment longer
Your promises to change what made things unkind
Shhh...its not your fault
I cannot take away your pain any longer
I cannot carry your burdens by your side
I need to see you stand, but I can no longer carry you
Hush my precious angel
Your eyes are gazing into my soul and you know where to touch me to stir the pain.
The song you sing is one that will shatter hearts of those who have loved and lost... I cannot listen for it to will shatter mine
You will re-open the wounds that i need to heal
My heart may ache into eternity if i do not remove this ring
Hush my precious angel..
I am sorry for all of our pain
I am sorry that you will wake in the night hurting...crying out to me
I am sorry you can no longer be a part of my world
I am sorry I have to be so cold
Shhh....listen
The birds are singing outside your window,
they have not gone,
remember me in the way I used to talk to you about hearing them.
The clothes I once wore as we held eachother,
still hang in your closet,
remember how my flesh was once covered in these.
The space beside you in your bed at night still holds my presence
in your mind,
remember always the love we made, the way I would look
into your eyes, the way my hands carressed your body in pure
love....and only love.
The sun still shines in your eyes,
it is still shining,
leaving the most beautiful brown eyes glowing with the fire of your soul,
remember the way I used to admire the many shades of your eyes.
Your lips still pass breath,
you are still breathing,
remember how i would gaze upon your lips, how i would kiss them at any chance we were allowed,
remember that feeling throughout your body each and every time our lips met.
Your heart still beats,
you are still alive,
remember how I swore my heart was beating for you and only you...forever.
Remember how you would lay your head on my chest and listen.
Our picture still sets on your nightstand,
we were once so alive with passion,
remember all those moments we captured, in our hearts, our souls, and our minds.
Remember how each and every moment we spent together was precious and real... no one can ever take those moments away from you. At times you may wish you could erase them all, but they linger.
The letters I have written to you in my many confessions of love that i swore was endless, may have ended
but remember I believed in myself as much as you did.
Although I may have failed you, I know I will never feel that way for another person on this earth
Hush, you are a precious angel
Too much for a mere mortal like me
All the promises I have given you, I am taking away
All the dreams we built together, I am tearing down
I didnt come here to leave you
I didnt come here to lose
I didnt come here believing that i would ever be without you
I didnt come here to find out there was a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by my faith in love
...and i lost faith.
Im sorry, I have to go.

Such utter bitterness and grief.
I am speechless in amaze of the beauty of this witting.
-
wow.
this is amazing.
i usually hate to read long poems like this one, but it's definitely worth it. it's incredible.
i love the imagery you get from reading this.
great job. :]
-
Excellent!
I loved it! I can't express in words the emotion some poetry I read has on me, only to say that it does leave a lasting impression. Keep up the good work!
-
thank you. this is beautiful. it i so let go. letting go means feeling nothing which is sometimes worse then the pain. im sorry never let the love you felt slip away. hold onto it forever. the pain will always be worth the love. im so sorry this happened. it just happened to me as well. except that my angel flew away from me. i dont think she is coming back. thank you soo much it was wonderful, painful, beautiful and sad. i hope everything works out for you.

Awww... this reminds me of a melancholy lullaby... actually one in particular comes to mind... a southern ... song... I'm not sure if it's a hymn or what... but it's called, I am weary, Let me rest. It was on the O' Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. But yeah that's what this reminded me of... Some kind of southern lullaby... It's very sweet and I enjoyed it very much... I little longer than I usually prefer.. but that's okay

Beautiful, I only wish pain like this would never happen to anyone. However, to steal a line from The Destructors, "Destruction is a form of creation." From your deprevation an amazing piece of writing emerged. Good work.
-
This was an amazing poem I loved it!!!
-
to borrow an infamous line, "Parting is such sweet sorrorw". Well taken.
-
Wow this is a really good poem... It has many emotions in it, and it keeps you reading. Very well written.
~K~

Thank you so much.. this was a very deep place of loss for me and I am glad to be able to look up from it now..

I'm aching, but your piece has also inspired me and makes me want to write, however my version is from the perspective of the 'left', rather than the 'leaving'.
The pain is just as raw, just as hurtful and just as tremendous from both angles that when I read your piece it relayed perfectly the raw newness of the pain all over again.
Despite the touching of my scars, you also managed to add another rope to my muse (aiding in dragging him back to me) Many thanks and I wish you well, sweety!

very nice descritpive long piece....the words and the imgery were displayed so wonderfully, it brought tears to my eyes...the emotion and the pain....so relatable and yet so distant....raw yet exceptionally well thought out.....it's a great piece
-
-
Sadly enough i did not have to think at all to write this piece.. only react to the pain of my fiance abandoning me!!
-
-
This may be the only poem I ever read that nearly brought me to tears...nearly! All is fair in love and war. It's well written... tear jerking.
-
This is so sad! It sounds like a very difficult and painful position to be in. A very touching and heartfelt write.

I believe that as much as you may come to love someone.. sometimes it is just not what feels right at the time in your life.. we are in many stages of life.. and I was very advanced compared to him.. I had been through divorce, children and heartache many times before he took his first step out into the world..
-
-
Very nice! It flows very well. There may be a few wording issues, but all that aside, good piece!
