Broken Wings

Published by Family Friend Poems December 2009 with permission of the Author.

It took all my strength to stay here
In the darkness only your voice I could hear
To see your face and touch your heart
My fear kept drifting us apart

Felt like I was falling in a bottomless abyss
But you're the one who lured me in, I couldn't resist
Wordless I needed to say to show
This is a part of the life I know

Every time I fell asleep
I saw you in my dream
And every time I opened my eyes
I realized it's what it seems

I'm tired of spreading my broken wings
Just to be caught up with you I kept on flying
You're still so far away
I can't find the words to say

Maybe we're just meant to be in a different line
I think I'm giving up this time
But before I go, I want you to know
Without you I'll be back to being hollow

But if you could come with me, stay with me
You'll keep me alive, you'll make me breathe
