Slowly Falling Awake Poem by Mikel Calcagno

Dilapidating slowly
and I only cherish what's underneath my wings
Pouring out the grace to which I feel
Nothing ever-so-inviting never felt so real
So what is so wrong with dreaming
If I only dream of you

Slowly falling awake
Your love steals the pain I've always tried to break
Slowly falling awake
I've never claimed this to be more than what I can take
I open my eyes cuz I'm Slowly falling awake

Cherish the thoughts
As they dissolve and turn into rain
Please don't break without me there to piece together what you've lost
I'd break myself for you and never credit the things you say you're not
So what is so wrong with having faith
If all the faith you've found was in me

Slowly falling awake
Your love steals the pain I've always tried to break
Slowly falling awake
I've never claimed this to be more than what I can take
I open my eyes cuz I'm Slowly falling awake

I never felt this afraid to be alone
I just want your broken heart to be a weightless endeavor
that falls into my arms
So what's so wrong with dreaming
If your heart learned to dream of something like me

Slowly falling awake
Your love steals the pain I've always tried to break
Slowly falling awake
I've never claimed this to be more than what I can take
I open my eyes cuz I'm Slowly falling awake
