Angels weep in crystal fury

for us sorry souls who’ve 

so very far to go

traversing through the snows

our tracks grown thin

at the crucial point

where we ought

to have taken wing

But no we’re buried

here below

way down below

to the skies turned

immobilized

with so far yet to go

Angels weep in diamond flurries

for us sinners who’ve 

yet so far to grow

out through the 

drafty window

our thoughts gone thin

at the crucial point

where we ought

to have taken wing—

The air I can’t breath

I don’t know why people want a happy ending, because endings are just not happy. They tend to bring pain and lost, and sometimes even envy. I don’t know why people want a happy ending, why would you want something so good to be cut short. Why not ask for a happy middle or even a happy start. I don’t know why people want a happy ending, because in the end you end up broken and crying. Maybe even praying for air inside your lungs.
