Wings For Marie (Part I)

You...

You believed ...

You believed in movements none could see.

You believed in me



A passionate spirit

Uncompromised

Boundless and open

A light in your eyes

Then immobilized.



Broken

Fell at the hands of those movements that I wouldn't see

Yet it was you who prayed for me.

So what have I done

To be a son to an angel?

What have I done

To be worthy?



Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents

Difficult to see you in this light

Please forgive this selfish question, but

What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight?

"She never told a lie,

... well might have told a lie,

But never lived one.

Didn't have a life,

Didn't have a life,

But surely saved one."

See? I'm alright

Now it's time for us to let you go.
