Poetry I remember....

[FawkesThis]

I remember...
I remember falling
The wind tearing through my sun-parched wings
Whipping my hair to sting my eyes
Stripping away my impenetrable armor

I rememeber...
I rememeber tripping off this cracked and broken pedestal,
Towering like a neverending skyscraper,
Brushing the very heavens I was never good enough to enter.

I rememeber...
I rememeber tumbling through the very skies I once painted with my bare hands,
My tears and the very blood that flows through me, now turning to stone within my veins.

I remember...
I rememeber the petrichor in the air,
That tasted like toxic sulfur.
The thunder that consumed pounding heart beat, shook my brain
Fractured my skull
Stilled my muscles with fright.

I remember...
I remember the way my bones were crushed by the impact of Earth
Marring soft flesh and shaking hard marrow.
The taste of my screams, of agony dying on my silent lips.

I remember...
I remember the day I fell.
Making my grand, exciting, entrance into darkness.
With trembling hands, a shattered soul and two ever breaking wings.
I remember.

I remember,
Because how does one forget
When you fall from the light
Into a pit of darkness
That many choose not to see?
