SOPHIA SIMS
Black Wings
I live simultaneously through you
Kiss my love for me too
Where can I hide?
With a riot within
And fighting outside
He let himself go
Thinking he saw the light
He down a hole
Blinded by the sight.
Sweat drenched and bare,
Bare your soul to the world
But brother you have to wait,
You’ve already felt the cold.
Hand in hand we go through this field
Where all the troubled souls walked
The dark angel in the sky,
With her black wings spread out
So gracefully she talked
As tears fell from her eyes
I climbed to hug her
But the stairs weren’t strong enough
I had to try again.
She is the mother of love
And it seems I’ve found
My brother from above—
Soul siblings delivered by doves.
They promised you love and you gave me grace
All the dark days have been washed from my face
The pain that is my love and my rain
Here we are, we’ve waited in vain
For so long, for so long
We shall walk through
Until we reach the end.
