Spreading wings of innocence

a million tears fall from the heavens 
thorns prick my flesh 
purification 
through this suffering with a crown 
contains my soul, locked 
in a cedar embrace 

shadows return showing images of bitterness 
unify to embrace words which ring true 
drying tears rest upon a fallen shoulder 
corruption breathes in a new life, everlasting 

your false love turned into my hate 

the spreading wings of innocence 
will fly away, forever grasping something that remains pure
