Harp

I tried to see the light
I tried to take it home with me
Fought with all my might
Became much too hard to see

Vision obstructed
By the darkness
It holds me so closely

I came around just in time to steal light from a sun burning out
Washed away by poison that I drew from my veins
The fire inside that fueled my soul had quelled under doubt
Of the love for me I feel you never retained

Broken again
Pieces missing
Light’s will not shine

My wings have burned off my back
My halo has fallen off my head
The gates have closed. I’m falling for the grace I lack
Still burning without the warming light that led me to the paradise I once knew

Running to you
Shine for me one last time
Hold on….I’m coming

I’m home now
Souls repaired
Tell me how
My wings faired
And I’ll try
To keep the tears controlled
Just give me my…
…give me my harp back
