I brought you breath, blood and beautiful words
I broke beneath flesh and bone
Slights, spite, scarred by the fights I must own
Shrunken and alone
Your wings were milk-white, diaphanous frames
Crushed in my grasping hands
Weak, rust - stamped in the dust
Where I stand
Please, please.
Will this aching relentlessness ease
Please, please.
As the shreds of redemption recede.
Your expectations exhaled then expired
I disappointed, excelled
Let down, brought below ground
As your hopes were felled
Please, please.
Will this aching relentlessness ease
Please, please.
As the shreds of redemption recede.
