-Fallen-


I sit alone, in silence and dark,
Fighting back bitter tears.
The hell that I have brought
Unto myself is the prison
In which I must remain.

Your pain is my fault
I cannot help that now.  
To know I hurt the one
I treasure most of all
Cuts me to the bone.

Desperately, blindly, I cling
To hope.  All I have got left now
Is the notion you will not give up
On me, your fallen prince,
A boy who lost his way.

If you leave me now,
The fault will all be mine.
I cannot keep you here
If where you want to be is
No longer in my arms.

I fell so far, so fast, so hard
From your grace, I could not even see
The tears in your eyes when
They looked upon me.  I hurt you
Worse than I could know.

Still, I hold tight to the
Blind hope that your fallen prince
Can still be your king.
For all I want in this whole world
Is to be by your side again.


"Ain't Got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old.  Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef"

mournful wails in the dark. repentant, hopeful. I think you could tighten this piece up a bit. what do you think?

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
