I feel alive
For I feel the heat
Of an angel on a death wish
Ankle-deep in quicksand
Plotting, pacing her fall
I feel cursed
For I lack the fight
To look through her silly mask
Breathe some air of hope
And help her fly again
I feel miserable
For she is my friend
May be even a muse
Who walked in
A wee bit late in the day
When I am on a free fall
To the very bowels of hell
I feel numb
For her song makes me smile
And overwhelmed at the same time
Leaving me gasping
Like a fish out of water
I feel betrayed
For the timing’s wrong
For a few moons earlier
She would’ve lived
The life she deserved
Even if I went down trying
