Icarus

Icarus

I know you... Still

I know
That you still feel
The same as I do
I know
That it can only
Hurt you
I know
Your passionate heart
Too well
I know
They’d tear you apart
If you followed your
Heart
I know
I can only do you harm
And so I stand alone
Just outside
your world
Even though I know
Even this still kills

Other works by Icarus...

What have you done?

I’m not sure whether I love or ha… The me I am because of you You reminded me How good it felt To feel without reserve

Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley

Unrequited

If anyone but you Had told me not to talk to you They would never have succeeded I let you go Because you asked me to.
Vampire

Nothing to see in your Reflection The only life you possess Is what you Devour
What am I hoping for?

One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up

We cross one another

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

I have touched the sky

Easy to lament Greatness touched and then gone bu… Few taste it at all
The Callous

It didn’t happen all at once The stress of impact And the heat of friction Combined Has a natural result
I Broke Something Beautiful

I broke something beautiful I had prior commitments I was not free to live out that fantasy
