Dark Angel Poem by Steve Armstrong

Dark Angel

Rating: 5.0


I see you now,
and it makes me cry in my heart,
one so beautiful, and yet,
so damaged and messed up inside.

The scars that line your arms,
look like the intricate artwork of a tattooist,
those razor cuts and puncture wounds,
signs of a desparate cry for help.

That vacant look upon your face,
the doctors miracle cure;
Prozac, takes all your troubles away,
but all it does is pushes them deeper inside.

I see you now,
and it makes me cry in my heart,
one so beautiful, and yet,
so damaged and messed up inside.
My dark angel...

Ahh this is suce a great poem, feelings flowing all over the page, wonderful. I feel for this person you call your dark Angel, is she really a dark Angel though. I think this fragile person is in great need of love and understanding. My feelings are that she may have been without love or at least felt she was for some people who love deeply don't know how to show it. You Stephen seem to be a person full of care and loving feelings, hopefully you will find a way to reach out to your friend, to inspire her in some way, to let her know that you love her and want her to get well, but also let her know that 'God loves her' and he can make her well, all she has to do is call on Him. I wish you well Stephen and I will continue to read your poetry. I hope you will visit my world of poetry sometime.--Melvina--

She sounds like she has found her White Angel Stephen, just remember, only she can make the changes necessary, all you can do is support her in doing so. 10 from Tai Angel with dirty feet!
