when someone stops loving you


fallen angel

I'm watching you slip away
Out from my fingers that hold you so dear
With words flowing from your lips
Accidental insults that I only know the true meaning of
Perfunctory words that seem to be lacking
The affections that you once had

You are falling away my angel
It kills me to watch you go
To leave me in this cursed Utopia
Alone alone alone

You forced me to love you
With all my heart and soul
And I gave it to you willingly
Wanting to lose control

But before the transaction was complete
You let me go
My heart drops to the floor
Still beating with love for you

And with that you're gone
Stripped of your wings and halo
That signifies that to I once belonged
I watch you fall down to earth

I scream out one last time
I love you I love you I love you . . . you can still be mine

You look back at me and smile continuing your descent
Falling to everything I hate and resent


You have fallen my angel left me here alone
With the feathers from your wings still clinched in my hand


They will serve as haunted reminders of our love bedamned

I found myself reading your work and I had to come back again to read some more. Awesome is the word. The feelings were well displayed. Good work.

it is always sad when an angel falls out of our world. This poem hurts in a beautiful way.

love; it holds us on its palm, and all we can do is scream. for all the good of love, i personally think it holds more pain than joy. a good poem.

A painful read philip, I do so feel for you, it happened to me, but he let go. I am still splattered and haven't found a way to put myself back together yet, but we must keep trying. Great poem. Wishing you much love in 2007 Tai
