Fallen

An eve of which I won't forget
Leads me to my deepest regret
As I play it over, realizing then
That I've been changed again

From child to teen, teen to adult
From good to great, innocent to at fault
My highs and lows, a boundless change
I still find it awfully strange

The way that night I changed once more
Even though I'm awfully sure
That I had been rising to a high
With no intention to leave the sky

However, birds must land once every while
But it feels I fell a mile
Lost control and fell straight down
Into the waves and begin to drown

I tried my best, you have to know
While I'm sinking ever low
That all I did, I did for good
And I always did all that I could

So that night I fell, I tried my best
My wings struggling in need of rest
Like Icarus reaching for the sun
Until exhaustion finally won

After years of trying to be a friend
This is how my story will end
I didn't know I was so good at killing
I killed a hero, creating a villian
