Touch me the way you did before.
Say my name the way you used to.
Let me forget the horror
Of this new reality.

Just like Icarus I flew too close,
Too close to the radiance of you.
Now I lie broken bodied upon the rocks
Of our happy past.

Look at me with those longing eyes
That used to beam with love for me
Take me beneath the sheets of this new world,
And embrace me with a love long gone.

Say my name, call to me
In the sultry tones of the night before.
Wake me with the tender kiss
That used to pull the breath from my lungs.

Let me not lie alone,
Not like this,
Broken *****,
Broken hearted.

How high can you fly,
With broken wings?
How far can you fall
With a broken heart?
