On the last day of all time
You’ll find me in your arms
Reminiscing of the day
You set off my alarms
The memories, the bad, the good
We dared to dream, and did the best we could
We’ll cry, and weep, and shed some tears
And be grateful for our time; the years
We got to spend, both you and I
Watching sunsets fade from golden skies
And when all is said and done
It wasn’t all half bad, we had some fun.
And we’ll stare into each other’s eyes
Hug, and say our last goodbyes
Then I’ll whisper that this is not the end
That I’ll see you sometime soon, again
Whether on the moon or in the stars
In the afterworld, I’ll bend the bars
And pledge to you right then thereof
My solemn vow and eternal love
Without feathers, I’m soaring
I’m light on my feet
Flying past landscapes
The wind on my cheeks
At first, I thought I was dreaming
But I was still counting sheep
So I knew I was awake
And not fast asleep
With my arms out extended
I reached mountain peaks
I flew over oceans
Over the shallow and deep
I thought about landing
Nonchalant and discreet
But instead, I kept soaring
Because the view was so sweet
The sun is no longer bright
It’s sad, but that is its plight
It’s not said with a grin
That it’s light now burns dim
And now morning looks more like the night

But this is the way of the stars
It’s not Venus, or Saturn, or Mars
It was here for a while,
Adorned with a smile
And it was nice enough to power our cars 

So farewell to all sunny days
It’s time for a new life and change
We’re like rats to the cheese
Paying exorbitant fees
Running like we’re stuck in a maze 
Singeing and burning
It bleeds through my chest
Just a heartbeat away
As only love would suggest
The wanting and yearning
Building burning empires
No escaping the flames
Like moths to the fire
Whether hellbound or godly
Your love still inspires
Wicked and lusting
My every desire
How do I heal
From the words I can’t feel?
When I just can’t relate
With what I write or create?
When the moment is fleeting
When my hearts filled with hate?
Because the love that you gave me
I couldn’t reciprocate
The passion, the care
The protection from fears
So I sink to the bottom
Drowning in tears

How do I talk to an angel?
How do I touch feathered wings?
Fallen, from the graces of heaven
To live as mere mortal things

Why does the sun rise over the mountains?
Why does it set to the bottom of the sea?
Far off, in the distant horizon
Come dive into the answers with me

This life is so much more than yesterday
Tomorrow is a promise we can’t keep
Right now we’re inhaling forever
Truth, too strong for the meek

I keep asking myself
Keep wondering how…
How do I talk to an angel?
How do I touch feathered wings?
Fallen from the graces of heaven
To live as mere mortal things

The sun sets, the stars shine, the night falls
As wings are the grass roots of earth
There’s nightlife, and moonbeams, and raindrops
If I could only remember my worth
When the moment finally arises
Do I stand up tall on my feet?
Do I rise to meet the occasion?
Or wallow in my own self defeat ?

So I keep asking myself
I keep wondering how…
How do I walk with the angels?
How do I gain feathered wings?
Risen by the graces of heaven
To become royal queens and great kings
‪Beams of light slip through the clouds‬
‪Sparkling on the Earth ‬
‪Raising flowers from their sleep ‬
‪For new mornings birth ‬
‪Dew dissipates as warmth rolls in‬
‪A new day has commenced ‬
‪And old memories of yesterday ‬
‪Fade away at no expense ‬
‪I’m hypnotized by golden skies‬
‪It’s beauty knows no bounds‬
‪For what I see with my two eyes‬
‪Deserves to be announced‬
There’s little warmth from a setting sun
I’m broken in more ways than one
The seasons change, and time grows thin
Still, I remain in my own skin
I aim to see the break of dawn
I wish on stars, then ****, they’re gone
So I’m gonna wait till they return
And give away what should be earned
A heart of gold, a caring thought
But they say that love cannot be bought
So I wait within a moments time
But the punishment does not fit the crime
So I think and introspect
And console my heart and it’s neglect
I ponder all the time in which I spent
Investing in the tears I’ve wept
The constant lies and disrespect
All the promises I’ve made and kept
I am no doormat or fawner for you
And I will not accept my number 2
I must come first, second to none
So I may feel the warmth of the setting sun
