Calling all angels

I call the angels

but they do not hear

they know of my sorrow

they know of my fear

I am sure that they do see my tears

 

Calling all angels

all lines are engaged

there is no answer phone

I cannot even page

this long distance call

to so far above

there is no recall

to the one i love

 

Calling all angels

I beg of you please

cannot you see me

on bended knee

 

Calling all angels

hear the clock chime

can you not turn back time

Into the past is where I belong

to be with my truelove

i am so forlorn

 

Calling all angels

please hear my prayers

for someone to love me

for someone to care

 

Calling all angels

what have I done

that is so wrong

for me, nowhere

to belong

Wounded soul

I cannot even critique such truly raw emotion.This evokes such sadness.It is a really good poem written from the heart. Lacy, Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

Calling all angels

Hi Calliope welcome I was lost for a long time the fact we made love in the morning be both left for work and he never ever returned. i never got to say goodbye and this hurts even now i have a go at him and also have a laugh with him. I do miss him so but there is nothing i can do after this loss. why am i left always the survivor? I cried and cried the days and nights away and my pen just flowed through the tears but this poem i awoke he was not there no contact for me not even to him above to ask why me again. so lost maybe you can look at No where land this also after the loss me just in limbo again with no destination. People say i am strong but they do not hear the screaming on the inside i let my tears fall in the rain. well i just pick myself up again and get out of bed and take another step forward and a few backwards But i am a poet - writer - musician - artist and photographer etc trying to find my way around so will catch up with you somewhere in time real soon my freind.

Dear Maggie,

I have just stumbled on this "old" piece. The emotions are so well portrayed here! A few little suggestions: l.12 "there is no recall", and there´s a space missing in "truelove"(l.22). And I am sending you a hug. Your friend, ~Nina

Nina The loss hurts now I still not able to say goodbye but he is around me I know. but when you make love in the morning the you go off to work but only one of you returns the emptiness the hurt the pain the guilt of being the survivor again. I put this in a form of a phone call to the one above still waiting for a reply Always Electric Blue

Janice What can I say you give love and it gets taken away again and again this is why i am so lonely hurt even feel guilty still being here even afraid of loving again. My phone call to the one above still waiting for the angels to bring me the message which is now in the form of another but again they hold back too. I am sorry to hear about your car wreck were you hurt at all? But you are here so the angels know you too are here for a purpose evan though we do not know what our purpose is. Trying to believe in something but it is so hard to believe in anything anymore I can only rely on myself. Electric Blue
