That night the Sky let go
I wished and wanted it to stay
I reached at heaven with all my might
done with me, it slipped away.
Higher and higher
it shrank into the distance.
following beneath it,
the skyline lifted
Perhaps too long had I ignored it,
too little had I cared.
Panic surging through my heart
Please don’t go yet, please be there
I rushed towards the cliffs,
to get a better view
The horizon rises up above my head,
Choked without a sound, the circle of blue
The silence left by my beliefs
Broke me down on broken knees
I swore to god that I believed in him
But I always thought my will was free.
So I did not huddle with the other sheep.
I did not sing their empty songs.
I would not hide within their stained glass windows.
I could not bear to stay for long.
