You said that you needed to go,
and I said I'd come with if you left,
so we held hands and tried to fly.
Before, the air seemed so light,
so unrestrictive, so loose,
a fenceless domain of oxygen.
But the moment we tried to climb it,
it melted between our fingers
and created a cage where no cage had been.
We searched and searched for wings,
for feathered appendages to lift us away,
but we were eternally bound to the soil,
to mortal forms of flesh and bone.
And in between sheets of heaven and fire,
we slept fitfully, desiring what we couldn't have.
In the end, we discovered that in order to rise,
one must become something different entirely.
On angel's wings we soared through the sky.
