Ascension

And I smile up at you

Through our mingling tears

Rose petals caught in my hair

And stars in my eyes

Our fingers entwined

Though Fate attempts to part us

And red velvet curtains

Leave the unsuspecting audience

With the illusion of our happily ever after

And I study your grief-stricken face

Remembering every smile

To grace your lips

And I thank you

For saving me with

Poetry and silly love songs

And though my wings

Have long since been clipped

It should never stop you from flying.
