I've Never Seen An Angel Cry

How could I not notice her,

The angel in the crowded room?

She stood out against the rest,

With beautiful tan skin that glowed.

 

I walked towards her,

A smile on my face.

She was standing alone,

Deep in thought.

 

I approached her, "Hello". 

I extend my hand.

She looks at me;

I've interrupted her.

 

She offers a weak smile;

With her perfect crimson lips.

I look into her eyes;

Eyes that change from hazel to grey.

 

I’ve heard a saying

"The eyes are the door to the heart". 

Her eyes exude sadness. 

Such beauty; yet such sadness.

 

She extends her hand,

A fragile handshake.

She seems lost;

Lost in a world of pain.

 

What pain, I wonder,

Is in her heart.

Maybe the pain of a broken heart.

Maybe the pain of a lost soul.

 

As I walk away,

A single tear down her cheek.

Her soul screams, her heart cries.

I’ve never seen an angel cry.

I've heard a saying

Her eyes exude sadness.

Such beauty; yet such sadness.

It's like you said sad but beautiful.

Beautiful story.
But it ended too soon.
Can I have more?

No, this poem doesn't seem incomplete at all. It's me who's curious.
Had she broken her wings?
Was she saddened by all the sorrow in this world?...

In case you chose to elaborate, please send it to me.

I love it. Truly the saddest thing is to see an angel cry... it can break your heart and make you feel like the world is ending. So sweet and sad. Wonderful.
