Broken Wings
When I'm not with you
I'm stranded on broken wings
Atop a mountain of countless sorrow.
For without you,
One less song my heart shall sing
My dejected soul would play blue songs in improper candences.
The endless flow from my eyes
Would be as torrid rapids;
Alone with my broken wings.
I declared
Heaven was with you
An unfathomed path
For us to share
Untarnished, not dispaired...
But without you,
I'm flightless on broken wings.
You alone, are the antidote to my life's many callous heartaches
My warrior against the unromanticized fiend
Your warm embraces captivate the essence of my being
Your actions, the proof that I'm seeing,
That your love has a truth abounding in faithfullness.
But all the flamboyant words that I write cannot compare
with the words from my heart.
You see, without you I have no heart.
If you no longer presided by my side
It would feel as if a part of me had vanished.
Without you, I have no wings
Broken wings.
Treading a world of loneliness without you.
