Unattainable

When I jumped from the highest cliff
My wings couldn't hold me up
They flap quickly but to no avail
My gentle hands claw savagely at the air
I can feel the rejection burning
Brighter than the heavenly glow in your eyes
Please catch me
Please hold me tight
because when I'm in your presence
I feel that impossible flight
Please save me
From this empty space
You are exactly what I've needed
Weight for my eyelids
Finally an end to sleepless nights
Bandage for my wounds
Please fly with me
So I can stand beside you
Where are hearts will dance forever
Please lift this gravity
Please close this distance
Please love me

Hmm. A combination of "fallen angel" meets "Icarus" - interesting. I once again, however, counsel you to SHOW, not tell - you have some lovely lines, but you let yourself get trapped into explaining your meaning a bit by the end.

I'd like to work with this in class and do some editing.
