Saving Angels

We all percieve love with a new warmth, a new agony, a new life.

Today, a tear was born in her eye

It was symbol of mortality

Of broken promises made to her

Of the love that endures inside her

Of the sacrifices she must make

 

Today, a tear pierced her cheek

It was the end of purity

Of her eternal faith

Of her innocence

Of her life

 

Today, a tear wandered along her skin

It was the day that daylight died

That reason ceased to exist

That truth lied

That hope withered

 

Today, this hand that dried her tears

It was the beginning of a new dawn

Of erasing sorrows

Of forgetting nightmares

Of love

 

Today was the day I saved an angel from her tears

Author's Note

I came up with this while we were still together, but didn't have a chance to write it down. Its over now, but I thought I would post it as a memory of the short time we did have.

I like it. The hardships of life and the compassion that can be found through it all. Sorry it didn't work out, but as the song by Queen goes "Just one year of love is better than a lifetime alone." Even if it wasn't a year, it was worth it in the end. Good write. Reminds me a bit of a piece I wrote called "Like No Hand Before". Keep on writing.

It's nice but � you really need to replace the last two words with something more special. The last verse always has to crown the poem.

I like the direct and effective way in witch you show your remorse, and devotion towards you lover, in verse.

Great write.

very sweet caleb, but i think you wrotw this about someone else whom i am not going to mention. It just didn't seem like you and her going out was that passionate or great, but don't get me wrong, this is a great poem!
i love how your words talk to me, it comes as easy as breathing, and is as forgiving as faith. loved it!
