Fail

Here I am
Once again failing
At every notion I've tried to pass.

Too scared of the consequences
Of letting my heart love
And too cold
To let myself
Jump
Just once.

I've run out of excuses
Dried up reasons
Of why my light
Can never
Shine.

I'm sitting alone
In this resonating silence
Feeling myself lose
The one thing that still
Meant
Anything to me.

The darkness suffocates
My eyes can't see
Throat can't speak
And ears can't hear
The strangled cry
Of The Night Bird's flight
Cut short
By my lost intentions
And failing hand.
