Array ( [sid] => 67334 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => If My Heart Had Wings... [time] => 2004-10-13 22:17:48 [hometext] => If... only... my heart had wings... so I could fly... I would gather together all the ppl who are hurting in this life... especially one named screwup... take them all to a place of safety and take away all their pain...comments appreciated... [bodytext] => I walk among the dying dead
Those who are trying with all their might...
Just to stay ahead
Though inside... they're already dead
I feel their pain...
I see the horror... that's been left behind
The shouting... the hurting... the bruises... the scars
It's like a crimson red stain...
Bleeding dark... with all their sin and shame
A dark and empty void in their lives
A blackhole burning through their heart and minds
An empty space... where no love can survive
A place... from which they can find no where to run... no where to hide

As I move through the shadows of the night...
The cold... damp... darkness that has become your life
I feel as though eyes are watching me...
Eyes of darkness... with blood... they weep
Eyes that send cold... creeping... chills up and down the spine
Eyes that see nothing... but the darkness of the mind
They burn to the very depths of my soul...
Seeking to burn through and through...
As they watch my every move

These eyes are pure evil... don't you know?
One can almost smell the burning sulfer and brimstone
It's here... I find you reaching out... from among those in this hellish place
You're just waiting to be found...
From among the burning... tormented souls that lay upon the ground
Their seared... rotting flesh... one can almost hear it falling from their bones

You know... no good can come to you...
While you're in this place of doom
Only death and destruction are upon each face
You must fight to survive...
And win the race
Fight to keep alive...
With a quicken pace
Learn to take a stand... then grasp my hand
Together... we can... overcome all this darkness in your life
Give you a chance to find...
The peace that you've always so desparately dreamed...
It's all right before you for the taking

'Cause if my heart had wings...
I would fly you to paradise
I would take you in my arms
Hold you close and tight
And warm your cold heart... with mine
All through the dark... lonesome night

I would... then... take all your pain
And fly it to the nearest sun...
Then watch it burn... until it was all gone
I would give you back... the life you've always dreamed
You know the one... where everything is so loving... so perfect... so free
The one... where you're surrounded by the love of good friends
And a loving family...

Oh... how I wish it were true...
That my heart had wings...
So I could fly to you...
Rescue you from among the dying dead...
'Cause you're still alive...
I feel your heart beating with mine...
Echoing... and rebounded through time...

If... only... my heart had wings....
So I could fly...

That's a nice poem, it not only is emotional, but it shows a lot of love.

sometimes having the compassion to care is enough, and sometimes it isnt.

Beautiful write. It made me cry..more. I am so desperatly trying to get help. Trying my best, but it doesn't seem like my best is working. I don't know what else to do now.

This is so deep and heartfelt.
The pain and despair that some people get trapped in, is expressed brilliantly in the first four stanzas.
I think this is an awesome write.

hey love,
I love this poem... you know I do... and I think the only thing that I can pretty much say here is thank you... thank you for loving me at a time when no one else has... thank you for showing me what a family is supposed to be... and supporting me in everything I do... even when my actions disapoint you you still stick by my side... and finally thank you for steping to the plate and becoming the mother I have never had...
I love you more than anything... NEVER forget that, and NEVER doubt that my happiness is all in you...
I love you
Deanna
