  I cut a limb to feel my heart
  To fix myself, at least to think I could
  Dragged feet to soaring wings
  I thought from the bounds of Earth
  But the depths of Hell. 
  I cost a love to feel my pulse
  To heal a thing, at least I’ve tried 
  Confused remorse, just missed the grief
  Realised flight not from the coldness of flames,
  But the abyss of self. 
  I left a life to feel some soul
  To feel some thing, some thing to feel,
  Blinded pupil of the approaching Sun, 
  I sought flight from my throat to the Universe
  And still found no way to go.
