XI

I turn my head to the sun
Eyes open to feel the blaze
Blinding light into decay
These melted wings that I embrace
I should’ve been bolder
Should have been wiser
Could’ve been something more
I should have listened to the words you spoke
I should have remembered you were always there
You wrote me a letter before you ascended
But I left it by your bedside
These psalms and choirs ring
We heard everything
We heard nothing
You write me a letter
But I left it by your bedside
You wrote me a letter…
I bared witness, I bared witness
Forsake all these haunting tones
The siren is calling, the kingdom is falling
You are not alone
