Ascent

shadow submission by Rattlebox

Take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
Carry me upon your back
My melted wings
Take me with you when you go

There’s no need to walk away
There’s no need to walk away
Hold my hand, I promise not
To pull you in
Is there nothing I can say?

It was
So hard for you to detach
To resume your ascent
Into the stratosphere
Bright stars and golden angels
I don’t blame or regret
Your choice to leave

To rise up, rise up and away from me
Rise up, up, up and away from me

Could you even say goodbye
Could you even say goodbye
Coming close enough so I
Could see the love
Dilated in your eyes

You were
So done with all the details
Every shattering glass and
Burning butterfly
Red flags and bloody sunsets
I don’t blame or regret
Your choice to leave

To rise up, rise up and away from me
Rise up, up, up and away from me

Take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
I swear that I can fly
Don’t run away from me
Rise up, rise up and away from me
Rise up, up, up and away from me
I swear that I can fly
I swear that I can fly
