I fell alseep and an angel died

by DreamingOutLoud   May 7, 2009


I sleep at night with my lights on
Pretending nothing is broken, nothing is wrong
My eyes circulate the ceiling
Must stay awake to hear you breathing

I woke to the sound of your broken heart
I woke up and half-naked I just sat down and cried
If I could, I would cut the cord of your internal suffering
But I can't and I don't, so I stand and for you I bleed

Your soul reveals the cards you're too scared to play
I promise today is not tomorrow, it's just another dislocated day
The tears map the pain on your face and coat everything your heart wants to conceal
But this is not you; your thoughts are not real
It is the silence of the night; silence that can moist the insecurities and thirst the dreams

Trying to open the night sky to see your face
But the stars are burning all senses
Wish you were here to see how far I've come, and
how deep I've fallen
Your memories are not enough

    This poem is like glass shards to my feelings- but in a good way. Its tone is wonderful and sad but sad as hope somehow. Great Job

    Absolutely wonderful.
    Funny, i've actually woke up half-naked, and sat on the edge of my bed and just started crying. Then got the blades i keep and began to bleed. Lovely isn't it?
