Coming Home
I tried to fly
I couldn't remember why
And as I remembered
I was shot out of the sky
And as I hit the earth
I had realized
That I'd been found out
And would pay for my lies
And I thought to myself
Why did I lie
I asked myself
Why did I try?
And that's when I finally
Remembered why.
It started with a hug
And a quiet "Hi"
And grew into something
That money can't buy.
That's how I met her
The Love of my Life
The girl who I'd Live for
And for whom I would die.
In the same ed we'd lie
And in that same bed we'd rise
I'd be greeted each morning
By those ocean eyes.
That's why I had tried
Why I tried to fly
Was to get home to my Life
My Love
My Light
My wife.
And when I came to my senses
I looked around
My pool of blood
Was all that I found.
I was running out of time
This is how I'd pay for my crime
I pat myself down
Found a paper and pen
I wrote You a letter
Knowing I'd never write again
Never see
Never kiss
Never hug or hold You
I thought I'd never find Love
You proved that wasnt true
As my vision got blurry
I knew it was time
I finished Your letter
And let out a sigh
I used my last breath
blew a kiss to the sky
As I watched it carry my letter
I hoped You wouldn't cry
That You'd know I tried
To get home to my Love
My Life
My Light
And my wife.
With that I laid my head down
And I pictured You
The Love of my Life
As I smiled and closed my eyes
For the vey last time.
I was suddenly inspired to write this in the middle of a class I had. I don't know why.
