With my darkling

0 posted 2003-12-06 03:23 PM


could it be you, I ask by chance
who really leads, this liars dance?
this sorrows' song, to which we sway
has brought me close to hell today

could it be me, I glance aside
that we should blame, for glimpse inside?
did I bring us, so far astray
that path to hell became one way?

and pained, I gaze, into the sky
cliched', I pray for wings to fly
I tear them off, a gift for you
an angels wings, to see you through

so you do what for you is best
I hold your essence to my chest
our children hold us, in the end
will not prevent, embrace, best friend

It's always a combination that makes a love work or not work.  It's never one person doing it all, because love takes two.  I like this, and the sly reference to the cliche of angel's wings removes the cliche and makes it fresh. Well done.

Painful post my friend.
The searching of the answer to why is an endless road I guess.
Remember the gold, take in the positive, release the rest.

Jason, this is so sad. It touched
my heart. Hope things are better soon.
Hugs to you

ahh Jason, mannn
I do know , I do

and pained, I gaze, into the sky
cliched', I pray for wings to fly
I tear them off, a gift for you
an angels wings, to see you through

this is utterly the most
touching stanza

you ARE flying Jason

wow...
I don't know what to say,
but this goes in my library...
I'll keep it close...

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
