You say I have wings
But if I do then I'm Icarus
I'm flying into the sun
Only to fall back to Earth
With a deafening crash
Or maybe
I'm the sun
I'm the flame
Burning brightly
But not meant to last
To be held onto
To exist permanently in someone's heart
I flicker into someone's life
Only to burn out
I forget
That no one is meant to get too close to me
Like the sun I'll melt away your wings
And I am too beautiful to hold onto
Flying is so thrilling you'll forget I'm dangerous
My love too strong
Too bright
Too much and not enough
And breaking and bleeding and wounding
When I'm only trying to heal
I want too much
Too much time
Too much touch and too much feeling
I want to give all of me
And it's never the right amount
It's heavy and hot
And sharp and broken and awkward
And me
All of me
Broken on the floor
