Life without wings.

Little dove, Lady Icarus

You spread your wings
You shut me out
You shut the door

Knocked to the floor
You broke my back
You won’t break me

Trapped under lies
Feeling no remorse
Incorrigible-

So far above

I’ll drag you down
You can’t kill what you can’t see
I’ll drag you back
You can’t kill what you ignore

I’ll drag you down,
From below
I’ll drag you back
As low as you can go

Until you can hear
The ubiquity of my honesty
-Sacrificing deceit

Fucked like a whore
My gospel of rage
A holocaust for your soul

Earthbound, chained-
Until you can feel the cost
Of loss, Of dreams

Falling from grace

Melted to the floor
Hurt like me
Smelted to purgatory

Waking up, in memory

Time won’t wash it away,
Your pain, the fragment
Of me

A fraction of hate,
Life without wings.
