Icarus
January 21, 2013
I wish I could let you let me fly
Drink up the forbidden sky
But these wings are borrowed they aren’t mine
The wax will melt
For a brief moment it would be like nothing I’ve ever felt
But nothings painless when falling from that height
flightless birds dont belong that close to the light
That’s why I wear these cement shoes
In case one day I’m tempted, with tattered wings…
To go fly with you
