The Fall of Icarus
June 9, 2013
Falling from above
Screaming through the sky
Heavy wings melted
All I see is death
Escaping with my breath
As the sun burns my neck
I see the sea
Waiting for me
Smiling with glee
I fall with a splash
Plunging in the sea
Seeing the fish scream at me
Tears falling
I fight the water
Watching it laugh, as I fall further down
My eyes close
Finding peace
As my body goes limp
