Torn Angel

We must be kind to people. Enough negative folks in this world.

Torn Angel

My  broken Angel.
Please smile for me.
Stay with me at the sea all night.


Your world has fallen apart.
You don't know right from wrong.
Desperate acts had left you feeling
dirty and insulated from everyone.


Please take my hand.

Walk with a man who swims in s**t most
of his life.


There's no angels on this Earth.
Only us struggling to make amends.


We all must do things we are ashamed of.
The world isn't clean anymore.
Not enough helping hands.


There is no pity for the people in plight today.
I know we get fatigue and humiliated to
believing we are worthless and destitute.


My wounded Angel.
Please take my hand.
Walk with a contaminated man.
Jaded kisses and broken promises had
left me empty.
The not so sweet taste of life has turn me bitter.


Sad Angel whispered.
"I'm a dumping ground for men
who want to use and abuse.
I don't mean much to no-one."


I  touched her face.
I told her.
We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you  begging for mercy.
In a shadow of our memories.


There is  no easy road.
Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away.


Find a better path to be on.
Kinder people.


Torn Angel walk with me.
Take my hand.
The new day is rising from the East.

From the beginning to the end, this inspired me... We have times when we feel worthless, and when someone is there to hold our hand it helps ease the pain...the walk of life is so much better when we have someone kind enough to show they care. Lovely write!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Getting down and dirty is sometimes necessary in the jungle of life... and anytime we can use our struggles to help another not feel alone then we have turned our failures into a positive thing.

Fantastic man!
Seriously now i remember why i love your work so damn much!

[Lilmissy1996]

Again another beautiful poem!! I love it!!

[Brianna Van Zandt]

This is absolutely beautiful. One little mistake I noticed: you said "There's no angels on this Earth." I think there may be a mistake between "There's (there is)" and "There are". I could be wrong though. Still brilliant and inspiring. :)

Wow this is one of your best.Your not the only one.Everyone has sent me great stuff to read today.The inspiration Gods must be generous today.I picture a young girl on the streets used to being dehumanized in the form of help and finally someone comes along that wants to help not just screww her.

"Torn Angel walk with me.
Take my hand.
The new day is rising from the East."

Such a lovely lines! It is wonderful to welcome a new
day with someone who is assuring and
is willing to give his hand to hold while walking in a fearful day!

[Gomer LePoet]

The old saying "a friend in need is a friend indeed" applies here. Shoulders to cry on and a willing to listen are simple but wonderful things to lend someone in need.
Thanks for sharing Coyote :)

Your poem conveys a positively true message: we must be there for one another! When our chips are down and our backs are against the wall, we sometimes need somebody there to tell us its all going to be okay, even if its not. Your write is absolutely gorgeous.

"My wounded Angel.
Please take my hand.
Walk with a contaminated man."

Wow. That was just...wow! This line just says so much. To me, I get the message like this: "Hey, you're not perfect, and I'm not perfect, so lets be friends and be imperfect together!" Very comforting.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think thats another theme you wove very well into your words. The speaker still loves this angel, even though she's tattered and broken, and I'm going to assume this angel loves the speaker even though he's "contaminated" and "bitter". They find each other to be beautiful, even though to the rest of the world they aren't.

Ugh, can I just say how jealous I am of how well you write?? Please keep it up! I'm sorry I don't review more often!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I love the way you write so beautifully and still insert a raw reality in your verse. ex: I swim in s**t

[Sandy Beach]

very sincere and heartfelt piece. Lending heart and spirit to a friend is always the right thing to do.
