Dear God - Kublai Khan TX

Crawling to the edge of heaven

Looking below, spirits weep for this world

Cry yourself to sleep

On clouds of tulle and silk above your children’s grief

The wish to breathe remains beneath

Forced to leave but

Maybe you were missing me

Trying to come back to see

Maybe you’d give anything

Would you even strip your wings?

In satin skies they wait whispering

With plans of jumping.

Taking turns removing their wings

Just a selfish dream

I’m just scared

I can’t do this on my own

Above your grave

A son filled with shame

Not seeking gods reprieve

Only wishing you forgave me

All we need is closure

What if death desires life?

Never wanting paradise

Far away from who they loved

To bask beneath a lonely son

They close their eyes and hide silently

While the creator calls them back home

I gave you power

I gave you power
