Go ahead and build it up again This city's just cemeteries and forgotten men

Fallen Angels
Forced to say goodbye
To hazel eyes that
Failed his time.
Riding out on waves of
Consciousness
Blind.

Searching hopelessly in
Unlit corners,
On and on.
Can't find
You.
These hazels eyes are
Useless, now.
Your soul lost to
An everlasting darkness.

Broken martyrs
Forced to say goodbye
To hazel eyes that
Failed this time
Riding out on waves of
Sacrifice
Blind.
So don't give yourself up just yet.
Don't let them take you.


I've rewritten this like four times, it all started with the first stanza. I like the last one too. I just cannot get this to sound right no matter how hard I try. So I stopped trying. I just found the paper with this written on it. I think it was the fourth try. I let it go. But I keep getting brought back to that first stanza, so I'm going to try again. I should have something today or tomorrow. I hope. Ideas are welcome.
