Lost Again

I want to be alone
would you leave me please?
past the point of purity
I have at last fallen
Burned my black wings
Seen the glare of the sun
At last, leering down upon me
Crippled and shattered, sit upon the floor
Leave me be, but break me
Salty tears, timeless sorrow
Take me away off into time
Let me be!
I have fallen like icarus
Unearthed at last, lost again
Free me! fear me.
Love me! lose me.

Leave me be.

    I think this captures the prompt you chose beautifully! This poem is full of amazing imagery and feelings. I really like the comparison to Icarus. Great job! Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!
