I tried to fly
But you tied my wings
Looking at the heavens
My eyes grew weary
How could you do such a thing?
Thinking that you’re so far away
There’s nothing I can do to get near you
Even if I had the chance too
The only way I could see you is in someone else’s eyes
Not mine, not mine
So I tore my wings apart
Put it in a little box
And kept it safe
Cause maybe someday, somehow
I might need it to find you
When I hear you cry…………

A lovely expression of longing and lost love, of weariness and resignation, of Hope despite abandonment.
It speaks to the human experience. It is nicely written, both in structure and content. It certainly evokes emotions in the reader; that is the purpose of poetry, is it not?
That's from my poet's side (yes, I'm published). Now, if you'll pardon me, I'll switch hats and allow my counselor side to respond.
Alright, Counselor hat firmly in place, tilted jauntily to one side of course.
Now, where were we...? Oh yes.. A quick analysis of this poem indicates a tendency for the author to engage in self-destructive (waiting despite being left behind) and co-dependent (I might need it to find you..) behaviors.
Co-dependency is placing the needs and desires of another before your own. My advice to them would be to close the eyes...relax...now... take a deep breath, imagining all the memories of the relationship are caught up in the molecules of air entering your lungs...breathe deep...and hold it a moment, to allow your body to take what it needs from the experience...and slowly....let...it....go.... keep going.....all of it...out of your system.....the next breath will be pure, clean and vital. All the old is gone. Like the air you breathe in, you can take what you need from it and let go (exhale) the rest. Move on. LIVE. THRIVE.

This is amazing. Where did you find it? to me it sounds like its about somebody losing somebody else either through death or break up it is very emotional and i think the person who wrote it really meant what they where saying.

the main person needs to suck it up and move on. and he's willing to wait until they need something for them to come back, what a loser.
