The Falling

the falling
your light can't save me
those wings to small to hold
this weight burdening me
the falling
your light can't save me
those sweet words can't stop
this hunger craving me

a shadow born from broken light, you came and took my life
I am searching for the seam, where I end and you begin

your razor blades in my head, bleeding the me still left inside
tried healing but these needles, grow to thin to break skin

and with one push we're falling again...

see those small round eyes, lives a promise of a new life
these colors are fading fast, your shadow cast it to black

and just like that we're falling again...

although I find the faith to face
this reflection of what I have become 
I will also be reaching my feet to find 
a safe ground that will never come

I will always be falling...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

A drug addict sat next to me and started talking about how his in rehab and has been clean for 3 months. He has been many times and now his doing it for his new born baby girl. He kind of imagines that he will be "fallen" like hitting the ground and be ok but he will really always be falling. Addiction becomes easier but you never free. Just wrote a lyric poem about that experience.
