I prayed for an angel, a person to take me away.
teach me to fly, believe in something.

A lil bit of song, breathes words in my ear.
I am pulled from the dark, and put somewhere in the middle.

dream caught me
halfway through flight

sunset followed by
the tunneled light of youth

like silver skinned minnows
in moonlight shadows

tortured by self loathing
listening for the raven to cry.

I bounce back, the dark gets lighter.

I am half heartily existing
in what we call reality

the song remains playing
I am somewhere in the refrain.

OVERTURE

a simple mistake,
i feel alienated
trifled by fate, not fear.

i am aware, i am cold,
lack of voice,
i hear noises.

my memory cloudy
i am miles away from where i should be.

i pray you pick me up
set me down in the calm.

my head pounds
it penetrates the silence,

i am still holding on,
i suspect i do not know what for.

the wind rips, tears into my skin,
there; in this weakened state, you are there.

your hand outstretched, waiting.
my eyes have deceived me before,

i reach for you,
for your touch,
your presence
your being.
my heart half empty, have full.
my mind tugging with emotion.

i stand cowardly, my mind reeling.
i reach for you....
