Fallen Angel In A Fallen City

by Hannah Emellia   Feb 2, 2007


Through my days they're wanting me,
In my dreams they're taunting me,
They whisper through their fingers,
But the rumors always linger,

Abandoned by those once trusted,
Self-loathing and hate encrusted,
I walk alone through haunted days,
Unable to lift this self-inflicted haze,

I'm pitiful yet demand no pity,
Just another fallen angel in a fallen city,
I'll cross my heart and hope to die,
Until we fall we'll wonder why,

We're still in darkness it still unfolds,
Until we die we'll recall the stories told,
The rumors spread and poisoned all,
The human race was doomed to fall,

We speak of things unknown, untrue,
They speak of me, they speak of you,
So curse this world, let's curse the lies,
Set the bomb and say goodbyes,

Let's just blow it, let's cut the loss,
The coin was never ours to toss,
We'll all die in liquid fire,
After all... Deaths always been our desire.

    Topic is amazing and poem is more than POWERFUL. Second stanza is great but this one is even more better:-We speak of things unknown, untrue,
    They speak of me, they speak of you,
    So curse this world, let's curse the lies,
    Set the bomb and say goodbyes,-
    Well done, 5/5

    Oh man, that took my breath away. It was so packed with emotion and hate and darkness. I can see it all! Wonderful imagery as always. Keep it up!

    There's not much more I can say to you that I haven't already said, but I'll say it all again. this poem had good wording, a nice flow and great rhymes. I cant quite put my finger on a favorite stanza but I do have a lot of prefered lines:

    'Self-loathing and hate encrusted'
    'Just another fallen angel in a fallen city'
    'The human race was doomed to fall'
    'We speak of things unknown, untrue,
    They speak of me, they speak of you'
    'The coin was never ours to toss'

    Although, there were a few lines that were a little longer than what the poem may have demanded. Anyway, once again I'm sorry for the negatives, but I would want the same from you...after all, how else I'm I meant to get better.
