Thank You, Damn You

I thought my world was all there was

But then you entered it

Until then I was content

With both feet on the ground

I did not know I could fly

You gave me wings

You helped me fly

I wanted more

I wanted to get closer

Closer to you

You were my everything

You were my Sun

But as I got closer

My wings began to melt

You had cheated me

Those wings you gave me

Those wings on which I soared

They were wings of wax

But I had to reach you

I tried one last time

I was about to touch you

Then my wings melted

And from that blinding height

I fell

Now

Bruised and bleeding

My wings gone

Hot wax

Their remains

Dripping over my torn body

I wonder

Do I hate you?

No

For you taught me how to fly

Do I love you?

No

For you left me to fall

I do not know who I am anymore

I do not know whether to hate you

Or love you

You gave me a taste

Of something I can never forget

Of what life could be like

My world no longer sates me

I want to fly again

Yes, fly again

But

Not with you

Thank You

Damn You

I will never forget you

You, my Sun

And I

Your Icarus
