Poem: Grounded

where wings once took me
i shall never fly again
the forbidden passions
a life lead by sin

a time when things seemed simple
without complication
but my wings would soon be clipped
by terrible confrontation

in the blink of an eye
my world crashed and burned
but little did i know
the tables had only been turned

not for the worse
but for the better good
i now see a life
and i love i never could

so now i sit here grounded
looking up to the skiy
content on my perch
no longer, longing to fly
