[bodytext] => Feeling so wonderfully broken Mending wings so I never would Flying away from the world tonight Keeping myself high enough and I could Fly You show me the way to fly This broken will and knees bleeding And the smiles that close old wounds Climbing higher into and away from darkness Come back down, still too soon Just for me to fly You showed me how to crash and burn The fires kept you warm, I hope My fingers are still numb You devoted yourself to running free And yet, the fight I've been waging has been all but won Standing so close to me And I still fly Never have I completely returned Haunted by your worn memory I just caught myself in the clouds, today The beauty you blessed me with, completely Bigger than the both of us And you taught me how to fly Bitter words that break me The wings you ripped from my back These lips you haven't touched forever So dry, they bleed and crack Some day I'll fall into you You can teach me how to fly Ah, this feeling coming over me As these words break through your wall from it I guess I can just show you some other day It's all I ever really did Fly Fly from me as you search for it Some day I'll fly to you Crash and burned into each other The smiles capture us both as we do Teach me how to fly [comments] => 1 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 54 [informant] => Exodus-On-Life [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )
