My Icarus and The Fall

RSS

By Anathema

your smile slides off your face in the most graceful way and the tears crawl so gorgeously down your cheeks devouring your heart while your ears stitch themselves up blocking out the sound of me pushing you down <br> it wasn't supposed to be this way i never meant to hurt you but the truth is, the truth is.. <b>the truth is<b> today is the day today is the day i never wanted to let you go, but your fall was so beautiful, the expression painted on your face like porcelain shattering a thousand shards <b>shotgunned</b> into my heart your hands were flailing, grasping helplessly <i>for an open arm</i> but i had none left to save you, because saving us <b>would tear. me. apart.</b> <br> <u>i know, i told you, we'd be Forever</u> <br> i pushed you over the edge looked like you were soaring, plummeting straight to the bottom, your wings melting down. icarus never looked so beautiful as you, darling, with your black gaping eyes, and your fragmented heart, weeping it's crumbled lament, but my eyes are like the desert, hungry for your moisture. it's all i yearn for. <i>to see this un.done.</i> today is the day today is the day today is the day <i>i let. you. go.</i> <u>i told you i'd always love you </u> today is the day <u>i never meant to hurt you</u> today is the day <u>it had to happen like this</u> <b>today is the day</b> <i>i'm finished with this</i> <b>i let you go</b> <u>i pushed you over the edge</u> <b>i let you go</b> let me go.
