clearer than a looking glass
the eyes that see your troubled past
Why do you try to hide your class?
A thin facade that will not last
I see you there across the wake
lost in the catacombs of old night terrors
Please stop acting so very fake
Know I'm one person who really cares
I'm lucky that I know your way
To pour sweet poison in a young girl's ear
I will never let my own heart pay
I refuse to bind it with locks of fear
I enjoy a little flirting
Jokes between two friends
Nothing that leads to hurting
When eventually it ends
You said I was an angel
I showed you Dawn after endless night
And as your life and past you untangle
I will be watching to lend you some light
So take your time beautiful creature
Who writes lyrics of the dark
Trust me, and I'll be your teacher
For in your eyes there is a spark
Although you may not see it
As you will not often see me
Just trust me, believe it
Your flame burns radiantly
Cloudy as a winter's dawn
The gaze that stared back at me
A fallen angel, to who I am drawn
But who can never know my empathy
Author notes
A special Thanks to Reel Treble. An amazing poet who inspired this poem.
Dedicated to my wolf, although you will never see this know that you are in my prayers, and that you can always confide in me no matter what you do or what you say.
Much Love and Many Blessings *Rose*

Truly a masterpiece.
Well, I am in awe. This one, however dark it may be, seems to spoken to something inside of me. Beautifully written.

Dark? Really? Hmmm...reading it again I can see how you could get that impression. Well it makes sense. The person it was written for I've only talked with three times,although in one conversation they were almost too honest, and they do have a dark past. So I can see how you can get that.
Your poetry is beautiful as well and I look forward to reading more.

Amazing, Angel. I don't know how you always have such great flow and emotions, but I'm just blown away by every new piece you write.
I love the way you reference your user-name and integrate it seamlessly, bringing fantastic imagery into play at the same time. Reading the entire piece, it feels like you're speaking to two very different people in the same poem. You seem to switch in the middle, at the fourth stanza.
Thank you for sharing this. It is truly a work of art.

Thank You very much. In all honesty I wrote the first stanza a few days ago, and had it stuck in my head ever since. So after several horrific attempts at adding some more stanzas I came up with this
In reality the poem is meant for just one person,but I doubt you would know them. Also I didn't write this poem at one time It stayed on my computer screen for an entire day and every time a new idea hit me I just added it.
This poem doesn't talk to two people, or at least it was not meant to, but rather it was to two different sides of the same person. "The wolf and the angel"
The fifth stanza seems a little chopped though so I'm going to edit this one cause It is my pet poem for the next day or two. -

Oh, I see.
Thanks for clearing those points up; I was wondering a little bit, there.
