"You are the closest to heaven that i'll ever get..."-(excerpt from 'Iris' by Goo Goo Dolls)

You are a precious flaw in my ruins And you never knew how much i cared.

You are an expensive casket of my past And you never found out how fast you killed me.

It seemed your eyes were Gates of Heaven An invitation to eternity.

Your whisper was the voice of God Your song was a faith full prayer So I would not cry before I came down crashing Like a saddened child for a broken toy Are we so naive Or did we just go blind Before faith was murdered by the hands of God?

My aching heart is drenched in hopeless wonder Asking if you had lied When you faced the moment of truth...

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
