C'est Fini

By Jewel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

C'est FiniI'll tell it from my part how I gave a little, gave what I knew howwe had our height, our zenith but gone now are the wings of Icarus, melting from the heat I too take my fall.I have seen with your eyesmy body you can have but although you trythere's nothing left, so I pray...pray that god will soon give you a little insight on solitude.Yesterday you were thereunveiling a phosphoric lightwith wonder at what I found, I let it shower over meradiating it back threefolda fire that severed the day from the night.Today we see it was not enoughhow errors of a past burn a futureit beckons me into dreamless nightssuccumbing to the hopelessness taughtan utopian flight plummets in a sudden breathnow I see through the flames.Tomorrow I want to awaken with out the paineased by the hands of Morpheusfor the hurt to fade a little, and to hearhear whispers of my spirit slippingtelling me pride comes not with fearyet awards itself with having tried.
