Icarus

i am icarus

you are my sun

i gather my wings and fly so high

as high as you ask to finally be right for you

i ignore the burns and shield my eyes from the hurt

untili fall

to far to pretend the burns arent there

for the sun burns

it burns and i cant ignore it anymore

because im not the only one crying out in pain

and i scream up at you

but the distance is to far for the words to reach you

so i stop

for you have forgotten i exist

an tiny spec compared to you

and even while the burns heal

i still crave your warmth

and i hate that

for while i had it it was glorious

you shined so bright

but i remind myself

of the darkness of night

i always liked night better anyway

the quite and peace

freedom

no pressure to be where you want me

but even at night you shine

luckily so many stars in the sky are brighter

i cant help remember how you would faithfully rise every morning

and greet me with joy

until you stopped and i had to chase after every ray

the clouds got thicker

filling in

until

i fell back to the ocean

and the sea soothed my burns

they are still there

still raw

but they will heal

as all wounds do over time

i am icarus and falling may have been the best thing to happen to me

i am icarus

and you are no longer my sun

[poetsofthestars]

for I am icarus and you are my sun

you simply exist and how you hurt me

but I am no better for I keep flying closer 

and I laugh as I fall for I know I would do it again

For I am icarus and you are the sun

You burn bright and blinding and oh how it hurts

but still I fly higher and higher

and as I fall, feather turning to ash before my eyes, I laugh for I know I would do it until the end

fall again and again if only to fall into you

but the sun goes away

night falls and the birds don't sing

the stars appear, a pitiful imitation of your brilliance, and I long for your light

you will rise again and I will fly and maybe then I will reach your embrace 

and when we collide, I will bear the flames to feel your touch once again

you are my sun and together we will watch the world

-🌙

Miss you like a friend you havent seen in years but every time you meet you hug and laugh and cry

Miss you like you miss your bed after a long day away from home

Miss you like the grass misses rain in the summer

Miss you like an angel misses his demon and bookshop

Miss you like a student misses sleep

Miss you like adults miss being a kid

Miss you like a kid wants freedom

Miss you despite never having you I’m my arms

Miss you in a way that can’t be put into words

It’s always ineffable

The ways i love and miss you
