In The Arms Of An Angel...Poem Version Poem by Kaila George

In The Arms Of An Angel...Poem Version



In the Arms of an Angel...Poem version
She sat in the room
Its silence was deafning
She lay on the bed...needle in hand
Shaking with want
Shaking with need
She had been shaking for weeks
She needed this fix....'gawd help me'.....she prayed


Then as the needle pierced her skin
Her eyes rolled into a trance like state
She could hear her heart beat
Strumming in her ear as she closed her eyes in bliss
Odd..She also heard wings flutter close by...as she wondered what that meant?

They found her body the next day in an old motel room
Clucthing a pen with a paper that was close to her heart
She had been writing a poem that said what she felt
She had first lost both parents...her world no longer safe
She then lost her soul mate as he was addictied to drugs
They shared this addiction and made love in their dreams
It was her only escape from this hellish reality
She needed to see them...just one more time
To see them smile...in her reality sublime
The reality gave way to her fantasy world
Were she lay down to die...in her world of bliss
May she forever rest in peace

Such a powerful piece of work yet unfortunately a sad tale that happens too often! Beautifully written and is a must for my list of favorites!
