Failing wings slowly break
As my heart drifts into darkness
Finding a place that few know
Where no dreams or sounds are found
Continuation of my nightmares
For the darkness still grips me
A disease spreading through my body
As my heart slowly fades
Seasons change as these eyes
So dull and pale in this light
Don't wake me up again
Leave me in my coma black
Forever confined to the depths of my mind
Believe in me when I tell you my story
For I know not of the light
A cancer like beauty lost to the wind
Whilst the pressure slowly comprised
Watch the gods wrestle for my soul
As the blood begins to fall
Laying down upon my chest
Blossoming to form such patterns
My veins are but wisps of blue
Scattered upon this remaining skin
I once wore wings so full of life
Lush feathers coloured with blood
But now I lie amongst those feathers
With but the bones as my memory
This disease has stripped me of my pride
And removed all I know
My perfect angel like being gone
They call it coma black
I'm supposed to hear them
But I fail to understand
Even as they scream for me to breathe again
I slowly fade from your eyes
Hold my feathers as you wish
For I care not
