You're Icarus, my darling.

I'm not sure how long I've admired you from afar,

You in your ivory tower. But now you're flying,

Soaring across the sky, you're more than a

Concept, you're real, swooping and soaring, and diving,

And climbing. Climbing towards me,

Closer and closer, seeking answers seeking

The Truth. So set on it that you

Don't notice the wax melt and drip,

Don't notice the feathers darken,

Don't notice your skin redden,

So set on the Truth that you

Don't notice how the closer you get,

The faster you burn.

So in my fear, in my cowardice,

I push you away, melting the wax,

Sending you down, down to the water's

Embrace, my darling, I'm sorry.

In my fear, in my cowardice,

I forget how breakable mortals are;

You smash to pieces on the water's

Surface, my darling, I'm sorry.

But tell me;

Is it better for us both to burn slowly

In each other's arms,

Or for one of us to shatter and the other to live

With the guilt, apart forever,

In retrospect, I should've welcomed you.

Should've pulled you to me, and burnt too.

But I was scared, my darling, scared of

The Truth, scared that when

You knew how it felt to

Burn you would refuse.
