Icare

You tried to touch the sun Two wings and a loaded gun Against a sea of monsters and a sky of ennemies Fangs dripping of jealousy You can fly above the emptiness Of human's minds, but not above your sadness You can't fly away from your fate You only know you came too late Run, jump, start to fly Escape the amount of lies Go higher and higher Until your wings are in fire You start to fall but you are still flying Until they cut what's left of your wings Splits of laugh wounding your back You're not ready when they attack Feathers turning around You're breaking without a sound Mockery, hate, guilt and lies You broke when you were trying to rise Rumors have crushed you And under your dying corpse there's just blue Your brain is cold but your heart is burning And your blood escapes through your wings The sea under you will be your grave Now it's too late, you can't be saved Blue and red, you're close to lose The ocean is the color of a bruise And when your bleeding back crash The surface is black and harsh Freezing hands are drowning you Neon skeleton in the deep blue Waterfall in your blooming throat You're dying ; it's not your fault And when your conscience escapes through your feets You just remember the sun on your lips.

This poem is called "Icare" because it's Icarus' name in french and when you split the word in two it's "I care" and I just like this !
