Feeling so wonderfully broken
Mending wings so I never would
Flying away from the world tonight
Keeping myself high enough and I could
Fly
You show me the way to fly
This broken will and knees bleeding
And the smiles that close old wounds
Climbing higher into and away from darkness
Come back down, still too soon
Just for me to fly
You showed me how to crash and burn
The fires kept you warm, I hope
My fingers are still numb
You devoted yourself to running free
And yet, the fight I've been waging has been all but won
Standing so close to me
And I still fly
Never have I completely returned
Haunted by your worn memory
I just caught myself in the clouds, today
The beauty you blessed me with, completely
Bigger than the both of us
And you taught me how to fly
Bitter words that break me
The wings you ripped from my back
These lips you haven't touched forever
So dry, they bleed and crack
Some day I'll fall into you
You can teach me how to fly
Ah, this feeling coming over me
As these words break through your wall from it
I guess I can just show you some other day
It's all I ever really did
Fly
Fly from me as you search for it
Some day I'll fly to you
Crash and burned into each other
The smiles capture us both as we do
Teach me how to fly

The first line encomasses all the emotion in this one---- wonderfully broken. It's sort of bittersweet, I think..... more sweet..... less bitter..... =)
I really like this one. I enjoyed reading it =)
God bless,
