"Before the Sky Fell"

Before the sky fell in on me
I had a simple life without wings

I used to live down on Century
spending days lost in my dreams

But all those memories faded
all the memories faded...

Why________
Don't you come to see me anymore?
I__________
wish it all was like it was before

Before the sky began to cave
I believed that I could be saved

I used to laugh like these were no graves
Playing out my childhood games

But all those memories faded
All the memories faded...

Why________
Don't you come to see me anymore?
I__________
wish it all was like it was before

Before the sky came down on my head
I believed every word that they said

I used to sleep in a comfortable bed
Not afraid I might wake up dead

But all those memories faded
All the memories faded
All the memories...
All my memories...
Faded.

  1. This is a beautifully expressed poem. It is sad, but very real. One of my favorites that I have read so far.
