Falling With Broken Wings
Falling
.by Heather Jacobs on Saturday, 18 June 2011 at 13:23.Falling with broken wings
Torn apart at the seams
Been shot down again and I’m
Losing the heart of my dreams
I leave no trace in the ground
When I hit rock bottom
I hear them screaming -
“I know I got ‘em!”
My feet are bleeding
And I have to keep running
Words whispered to me
Aren’t you oh so cunning?
My heart is panicking
Trying to escape its prison
I feel it stop beating
Everything’s fading from vision
It’s lonely down here
As I scream your name
I curse myself for thinking
This was more than a game
Face down in the dirt
Coughing up your lies
I choke on the pain
And slowly close my eyes
.
