I crawled out of bed today
with the hope of talking to you
I thought maybe I was still asleep
when I realized
I was awake
I knew that today
would be another yesterday
there would be no hope
only dim promises of chance
chances that are becoming harder
for you to want to take
she has you
and I don't
and no matter how hard I try
I will never be more than just a whisper
to the call of her birdsong
she has laid at your feet
the products
of your seed
from her came life
not once
but twice
and you look upon that with
a sense of commitment
with a promise
that’s not meant to be broken
I know that deep within me
I will always love you more
than she ever could
I will be closer to you
in thought, in mind, and in heart
but that is all
that I will ever have
the secret of our love
and
the shattering
of my crystalline tears
battered, beaten, & broken
I will begin my journey
and like Icarus
I will fly to close to My sun
I know that I shouldn’t
but I will anyway
and not only will my wings
get burned
but so will the very core
of my fragile broken heart
so let's be done with it
and let the show begin...
