Requiem for a Marriage Pt. 2: A Selection of Poems

ICARUS

When things get too much There’s often a temptation
              To don a pair of wings and fly up
                         Towards the sky and never look back 
                                      Though I implore you to reconsider
                                 
When you look back down you’ll come to realise 
               The ground shines a lot brighter from up there
 And as for the sky well -

                                       It’s cold and awful lonesome 
                                       But by that stage it’ll be too late

 To float back down

                   Stay with me
                                                 
                                                            Please
