Expecting To Fly Help me somebody to remember me remembering her try and see if I can live even half a life or should I surrender? No use in wondering why standing 'round, expecting to fly Respected was I had a love all my own that made me the envy of all the guys and I made her my home Now it's funny (no it ain't) how love can blow away like leaves it's not so sunny, I'm feelin' feint and like a slow fog I move away from California dreamless wonder in my hands No use in giving it a try wasted my time expecting to fly Heart's a wax museum I fell into lies lying to me she - me, her - him I'm falling into the sea, you see poor department store suit is wet and full of promissary notes and half-baked hopes burned like me Oh why such a stupid thing, expecting to fly Icarus, dim the sun 'cause I can't see 'cause I can't be me and I can't believe in believing anything, now No use in little baby cries gravity pulls at your expecting to fly Yeah, why this awful cupid thing, expecting to fly Hermes, gimme your shoes 'cause I'm in need of speed her emotions I can't read and I can't conceive in any relief for me, now Oh help me somebody try to remember surrendering to her come and lift me into the light that shine on everybody everybody but me without her So please consider, give it a try 'cause I've wasted too much time expecting to fly "Is any song worth singing if it doesn't help?" -- Wilco, 'Wishful Thinking' |

So sad - this is very sad. But, I love to feel emotion when I read poetry, which makes this good in my eyes. And I loved these lines: Icarus, dim the sun 'cause I can't see |

I can feel with you. But I'm still hoping to fly, as foolish as it may seem... Thank you for sharing. This is a very moving poem. Ben “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Oh, my! Your sorrowful ~ yet hopeful! ~ words really touched a strident chord within my heart strings. Very expressive writing! I do believe that since you have the expectation to fly again ~ you will!   EA |
