Icarus

What you were

You were more
Than yourself
For me
You were
A reason
To embrace
All those things
I have desired
To be
 
Losing you
Stole away
My drive
To be more
To live hard
To reach out
And grasp the world
 
But alas
It was never really mine
It came from you
Such things cannot last
When they are not your own
So at the end
What was stolen from
Me
Was only
That which
I robbed from you
 
I used you
After all
I wanted
Your youth
Your exhilaration
Your lust
For your own life
I wanted
To believe
That it was mine as well
But in the aftermath
Of your departure
It was gone
It was never mine
 
I have been a vampire
Feeding on your life
In order to sustain
My own
It was wrong
I was wrong
You deserved more
You deserved better
