you are the sun on my wings 

 

the very thing that will cause me to fail

 

the heat of your smile melts the wax of my feathered wings

 

i am icarus you helios 

 

though the wax burns as it trails down my skin i soak up the sun

 

feeling the warmth for my last minutes before the plunge

 

before the waters engulf me and reality kills my hopes once again

 

for as i flew i reached toward you hand outstreached toward the sun

 

your comforting warmth surounding me melting away the fear of falling until it is too late

 

i have fallen and there you stay continuing your path

 

lighting the way for all who need you 

 

and i sink 

 

the fool who dared to get too close
