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
