Where Angels Fear to Tread

A deep sadness that some people never get over.

I've made my bed and now I'll sleep in it
People stare in anger
But who knows why
You roll the dice and live with what your dealt
Come in out of the rain they say
Big boys don't cry
But I've never felt so alone
Your OK is music to my ears
Lonely torched soul and two glass eyes
My heart longs to break
My footsteps mistake me for a saint
Come in closer, come in closer
I take off my mask for everyone to see
What do you see
My soul becomes useless and my words become sand
A real life script of how real life became our medicine
But you taught me how to live again
How do you tell a angel you don't believe in God
When your mother says you would be better off dead
But I still want to see you
So I drive to the edge of my inconsiderable pain
How am I suppose to breath
I dig up the thought of you
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Can you
Pull me in or let me drown
The truth becomes lethal now that our history is for sale
I don't want to be lonely anymore.

Oh wow.. so much emotion going on through this.. if written from reality .. lots can be said of the contents.. writing of a fallen angel.. scortched wings.. sooo deep I could feel this.. the part that touched me most was:

Sometimes people are dealt hard lives.. in the beginning we live what we are taught and many DO Not know the difference between right or wrong if in the wrong environments.. as they learn the right way.. the wrong still feels more like home.. that's the feel I get here.. then the realization that you want better and looking for someone special to pull you up and make you feel amazing.. and that very final reality that has hit like a wall.. not wanting to be lonely anymore.. I think many will relate to so much here.. as no matter what side of the fence you live on .. no one wants to be lonely.. thank you so much for sharing.... I hope you find that someone special who can help you realize your true desires and dreams!!! =)

I read...and thought it was brilliantly written,
packed with emotions of great sadness,
such sadness that can only be imagined from my own

Oh how sad. I felt your words go straight to my heart. wow, I'm still trying to shake that last part off. I'm speechless right now. Beautifully written, sorrowfully felt.

Kelley, I love this piece..I think it is one of your best ones. Very strong emotion here, and you have handled it well...

My favorite line was: The truth becomes lethal now that our history is for sale

This statement is so sad, I can taste your sorrow with this sentence.

you made me cry.....again. need i say more?

[Flow~]

it is hard being lonely as we need human contact to survive and mantain a healthy mind. I like how you explore the affects of loneliness, the disbelief in a higher power and missing loved ones. A very heart felt write that was rich in emotion and images.

What a heartfelt and moving write. So telling and poignant. Well done.

you captured the feelings of desolateness and sadness w/ ease. Imagery is strong and the poem leaves enough for the reader to interpret for themselves the poem's meaning.
