Thread: Bittersweet Wings (poem)

All my life I wished to fly
To soar into the stary sky
Flying through the entire day
To soar so very far away
One day I went all numb;
and finally my wings had come!
But suddenly I felt all sore,
I didn't want them anymore
Even the wings that take me off my feet...
Is everything so bittersweet?
Everything comes with a cost
Must something always be lost?
Thinking of the time we kissed
I saw his face come through the mist
So shocked that I could barely speak
Angelic tears rolled down my cheek
He reached out to grasp my hand,
But he stood solidly on land
No match was he for wings so great
I knew that it was far to late
To save me from my one true wish
That pulled me into the heavenly abyss.
But know I would've given up these wings of mine
Just to see you one more time
