Wings and Saving Grace
Wings and saving grace,
It was something I thought I could never face.
Now they have burned away, and I feel cold.
Gone is the warmth of his wings, and I feel so old.
'I love you' was the last thing he said,
But I burn inside about where I've been led.
All the time I have now I am left to ponder,
Why in the world does the sun's warmth reach us no longer?
I can barely remember how the light would shine on his face.
Or how all my troubles would fade with a single drop of grace.
Tears burn in my eyes from the lies I've been told,
And I regret forcing him to be bold.
I now know of everything I've been fed,
And even though I've tried 'No' is all he said.
He's been left alone too long to wander.
So I now know, he's mine no longer.
