No More

Written 2011.

I turn my back,

My gaze long since gone,

My wings are strong--

But I will not fly,

You see,

The sky holds no glory,

The wind no thrill,

I clip my wings,

And fly no more.

I turn my back,

My eyes are clouded over,

My arms are strong--

But I will not fight,

You see,

The pain holds no glory,

The battle no thrill,

I lower my arms to my side,

And fight no more.

I turn my back,

My voice is now silent,

My legs are strong--

But I will not run,

You see,

The road holds no glory,

The mountain no thrill,

I drop my knees to the ground,

And run no more.

I turn my back,

My eyes are now closed tight,

My heart is strong--

But I will not love,

You see,

I loved and lost and loved again,

I lost it all and loved some more,

I lost my love,

I lost my vision,

Fade to black,

To black and--

Love I let go.
