Breathing
Fallen angels, broken wings
in sorrows arms, desperation sings.
Silent tears and wordless lies,
a moment of pain where innocence dies.
Bid a sad farewell to glory past,
and years of joy that went too fast.
Apologies for angers sake,
A life you give for the years you take.
A shadow of a man, a hollow shell,
Trading glimpses of heaven
for an eternity in hell.
Waiting for redemption
that doesn't exist
Weeping for a dead love
and an almost forgotten kiss
Another long night
with no will to survive,
Breathing still...
yet not alive.
