So i read my Dark Angel Series poems to my husband, and i was trying to explain to him the character behind the dark angel.  She's a woman who's been broken down time and time again.  And although she's told repeatedly how beautiful she is, she doesn't see it.  All she sees is a broken woman, who's scared to trust, afraid of being hurt.  So i wrote yet another DARK ANGEL poem, only this one describes her.  ENJOY!

THE DARK ANGEL

10-15-07

Lovely as an angel

She hears them say

Face of a beauty

With a life in disarray.

They don't see

As green eyes hide

The pain she feels

Tears welling inside.

They don't hear

As she cries in the night

They're not there

To watch her fight.

A beautiful angel on the outside

Is all they see

A sad broken girl

Is all she manages to be.

Afraid of being hurt

She keeps her heart locked away

Refuses to let others in

To their dismay.

Her cries in the night

Go unheard

Calling her an angel

She believes is absurd.

She's not their angel

Her soul dark & bleeding

Her sorrow sings

Pain she feels late this evening

She's the angel of the dark

The angel of night

She is the dark angel

Beginning tonight.
