In this drunken haze,
as the music drags me
kicking and screaming
over the memories
of long ago.

All I can say is I love you.
The soul in me wants to
feel the longing of the sky
you held in your breasts.

The hope you sprang forward,
and for a moment I feel
heaven isn't so far off.

Your inspiration makes
me understand the world
for a brief glimmer,
and all the tragedy
of my life seems
to melt away.

But I, a broken note
and I am broken in
the heart of my
own beating chest.

And I love you,
because that is all
I can do with
this ill attempted
failures.

I am yours and even
when I'm gone and done.
I will always be
the hopeless love,
and fallen wings.
