Angie's Song by ~darkskada:icondarkskada:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Transgressive > Song




She's what they call beautiful:
Bright blue eyes and a vibrant smile.
Proud of her independence,
And her open shamelessness.
She wants to break the mold.

She reaches for the flickering flame,
Ready to explore the world.
Wide-eyed curiosity,
And unmatched bravery,
But living burns the soul.

She's an angel with tattered wings.
She's an angel with shattered dreams.

Yet she picks herself back up,
No, she's not giving up.
She's fought too hard to let go now.

She's what they call beautiful:
Quiet eyes and a wistful smile.
She doesn't say a word,
And yet you know she's hurt,
Consumed by what she feels.

She reaches for the flickering flame,
Wiser now, this time.
She holds her head up high;
Won't let you see her cry.
Each passing day, she heals.

She's an angel with mending wings.
She's an angel with dawning dreams.

And she picks herself back up.
No, she's not giving up.
She's fought too hard to let go now.

She's what I call beautiful.

I wrote this for a woman I knew once, who was raped in an alley on her way home from work.

It's a song, actually. I should post the chords sometime.

Fab piece, beautifully sung
It could do with a soft ambient background though (just a suggestion)

This is a pretty good poem. I like the repetition of the form, that's a nice touch. Your wording is always so vivid and emotional, you never cease to amaze. I like the sin wave motion of this piece, lifting up and then letting down and vice versa. Unfortunately, I can't listen to it right now because I'm at work, but I'll give it a listen when I get home. Nice work.

Oh, nice thumbnail too, it really fits the piece.

Thank you very much. I wrote guitar music for it, in the key of E maj, but since I do not have a guitar and My keyboard was froth with resistance, I had to settle for an a capella recording. Perhaps if there is enough interest, I'll post the chord progressions.
