Are You Still Falling?

I once opened a door,

and you were hidden behind it,

Trying so hard to heal before

I would see the brokenness.

 

You were far, far too late

And I thought that was okay.

 

You had eyes like an angel,

And a will to try and fly.

My own heart was mangled,

But you knew how to make it right.

 

I thought you were too late,

and I was ready to break.

 

You were healing so fast

And I knew that I could leave,

so I sighed and left the past,

But you didn’t give up on me.

 

I wanted to waste away,

but you always stayed awake.

 

You’ve been my legend my whole life,

And you made my wings brand-new.

So I got a chance to fly,

And its always been all thanks to you.

This is a lifting song that brings one from that place of pain to a world of life and beauty. What a wondrous tribute to friendship!

"You’ve been my legend my whole life" This line craps the whole poem. Otherwise it's a great piece of lit.

[Calypso]
