For you

I flew for you.

I rose through the suffocating coldness of space.

I ascended to the clouds that stole my breath.

I was not meant for the scorching light of heaven's gate.

I eradicated my darkness and let my new halo brand my soul.

I sprouted these heavy wings.

This was all for you.

I flew for you.

•

I fell for you.

I plummeted to the treacherous ground.

I descended to the dust.

I was not meant for the rust that would envelope and break my wings.

I corrupted my halo and watched as it shattered.

I burned my precious wings.

This was all for you.

I fell for you.
