Broken Wing

Wing, betray me,
dare I fly,

This halo-less Angel,
down on high,

this Major Tom grounded,
splashdown, zero hour.

Headlong,
headfirst,
head deep,

and the walls come
crumbling
down,
down,
down.

Take my pain away,
knife
and
Magic Man.

To pill
or
not
to pill,

a question posed to me
by self,

not wanting to live
a high lie.

Feel the pain,
my just reward,
for deeds done,
so long ago.
