Icarus

Icarus

Exchanging griefs

I can’t help wondering
Was that really you
Could it have been so
High
If I could answer
No
It would be easier
To accept this
Low
 
But then why
Why would you
Fain such sincerity
Knowing as you did
It could not
Last
 
Replacing
One low
For another

The Cost

Our love cost you dear It cost you all A price I would have willingly pa… Though that cost Sadly landed on you
The prodigal's dilemma

Too long trapped Hopeless and caged Owned and enraged I saw a way out Extinguished my apathy
Over the hill

When I got over the hill the girls hooted and I skated down the fun side of the arched bridge over the river. Carving hard
What you were

You were more Than yourself For me You were A reason

We cross one another

In the street. Pensive glares pregnant with meaning. Imagined Memories. Greetings between Former lovers wrenched

Fit for hell; saved by grace

Does it really matter Whose fault it was What’s been done Can’t be undone Anyways

Lost love

You’re still My favorite person A thing Impervious to change Your memory

The catalyst

How was it possible? Why on earth Did it never happen Before? How did you change
To have loved

For an instant I touched it Greatness was upon me I wonder Do you know it?

Carnal knowledge

Everyone thinks they know what is best. The path they have chosen Must fit all. Knowledge of Right and wrong

Burning

Passions pit perfervid. Smoking cinders, and coals endure petulantly past their prime. Blisters and puss
Fire

The cherry red tip of ash falls from her cigarette to make love with a dry autumn leaf and set the forest ablaze.

Something; more or less

2015-01-12-22-48-02 I’m on to something new Just trying to get over you What in the world am I thinking? Was it really that much?
Redemption

It’s been 14 years Since we’ve spoken 14 years In which I’ve tried to Bury my regrets
Fear actualized
