Icarus

Icarus

1 min

There is a pain that the soul feels

With every touch a layer of me peels

Amidst the chaos and the bustle that is all around me

I find myself in darkness found in the deepest depths of the sea

A silence that no one can even begin to fathom

What I’ve lived through though is anything but random

 

There was a time when I was gifted wings made of wax

I threw caution to the wind and let my heart relax

I flew close to the sun of desire

The heat that engulfed me soon led to a fire

My wings melted away and left me bare

Those around me admonished me with a cold stare

 

Icarus was blamed for getting too close to the sun

I was pelted upon for letting love my heart run

His life was lost for the sea to swallow

My soul was lost to forever become hollow

I sit entrapped within a torturous dome

Wondering when I’ll finally get to be home.
