a crying angel
January 19, 2015
her wings are tired,
and she's laying down
on her bed
that's on the ground.
her tears roll on her face
and her sobs shatter the air
as her cries break my heart
and as her body shakes.
she tries to still her breaths,
but they won't steady
and they shake her body
hard as she's on the ground.
she goes to the bathroom
and washes her face,
but the tears still fall down
and stain on her cheeks.
her tears swirl in spiraling pattern,
falling upon the cold, hard floors;
turning into shards of liquid crystals
as she sobs and falls down.
she's tired and it seems too much,
each cry of pain hurts me
like it hurts her too;
she's a crying angel who flew down.

Haha. Thank you. Thank you so much. That means a lot. Maybe someday this will be published. :) But I'm happy that you think my poem is gorgeous and should be published, and that is enough for me. Thank you so much again. :)

We all go through those stressful times...but hey, if we didn't have them, then we would never fully appreciate those happy moments. Just keep your head up and push through. The stressful period will pass haha :) And in the meantime, don't forget to look for those priceless little moments of happiness that you're blessed with during the storm! :D

Aw, haha. Thank you. That means a lot to me. I wasn't expecting anyone to comment on my poem, so your comment and @BlackNight15's comment has really encouraged me since I've been having a few stressful weeks. Haha, I also promise to never stop writing. Writing is one of the very few things where I can be myself. Thank you, again, @Nightingale74. :)

Emily I'm always blown away by how adept you are at creating a piece of beauty with your words, the way you skillfully weave them into a shimmering tapestry of emotion :) I especially love your imagery in this poem; there's a lot of motion with all the swirling, shattering, and shaking! I also love the feeling...so deep and beautiful :) Five stars! Never stop writing :)

Your work is amazing! I can relate and feel the emotions in your work! You are an amazing writer and person!!!
It hurts so much to see someone in pain. In pysichal pain or emotional pain or spiritual pain, it all still hurts.
I had to watch my mum cry, and it hurt. It hurt so much. I was only strong because I need to be and I wanted to be.
