Dear God

Crawling to the edge of heaven
Looking below
Spirits weep for this world
Cry yourself to sleep
On clouds of tulle and silk above your children's grief
The wish to breathe
(Remains beneath)
Forced to leave but
Maybe you were missing me (Trying to come back to see)
Maybe you'd give anything (Would you even strip your wings?)
In satin skies they wait whispering
(With plans of jumping) Taking turns removing their wings
Just a selfish dream
I’m just scared
I can't do this on my own
Above your grave
A son filled with shame
Not seeking gods reprieve
Only wishing you forgave me
All we need is (Closure)
What if death desires life?
(Never wanting paradise)
Far away from who they loved
(To bask beneath a lonely son)
They close their eyes and hide silently
While the creator calls them back home
I gave you power
I gave you power
