Angel

ANGEL

Once an angel for the devil… put down and unloved
Now an angel for an angel… she feels like she can fly again
I am lost I will never be the same after him…
But you fix the broken pieces and put me back together…
I am who I am and what I am made of
My fear defines my life and love… passion seeping through…
I hold out my heart in my palms as it bleeds in front of you…
Stitches on the left patches on the right covering the wholes in me
The needle pulls through sharply and most painfully…
Come closer and see the gap he tore… see the love I’m bleeding
Come closer my angel and feel my love I have to give…
ANGEL OF MINE!!!
Own me and hold me cause you make my heart beat faster and faster…

This is NOT my work it is my cousin Katie Powell's! I just think she is an amazing poet! And that her work should be read by more than me! I own NOTHING!

I love the line 'I hold out

I love the line 'I hold out my heart in my palms as it bleeds in front of you…', this poem, for me, encompassed the way it feels to be in an unhealthy dynamic of love


Much Love
