The fallen never let go

The fallen never let go

We hold on

By our finger tips

Worn almost to the bone

Clinging on tight

To any shred of hope

Never losing sight

To what can bring us

Safely back to ‘home’

 

The fallen

Have learnt how to be

Broken and alone

We know not to throw back

Those hurtful stones

Instead we use them

To protect and save

Our tortured souls

 

The fallen

You may think weak

But in actual fact

We’re at our peak

It takes more power

To climb up the walls

Than it does

To tumble down

But it’s in these depths

That we each find our crowns
