Unlike you, I don't have those right now

Wings are used to fly
away to safer places.
They're hard to find
in my heart there are no traces
of feelings like those.

I'd like to say that
I'm okay now, but
it's too hard to lie to you
so I just keep my mouth shut
and my eyes closed.

I close them to keep
the tears from falling and
to keep my soul from
seeing the true end
of the hope that arose.

I'll keep walking instead
of flying to where I cannot be.
I'll look for the horizon myself
so I will again be able to see
the beauty of the life I chose.
