Falling...
When I jump, don't hold me back
I feel like I'm spinning, plummeting, screaming
I don't understand my own brain
Catch me at the end, or don't
but I need to feel the wind rushing past
no control
like life
too fast
where are you?
I want to share with you
a heady encounter,
unexpected
though I should have seen it come
I thought I was on solid ground
(finally)
until you nudged me
off the edge
an accident
and now
I'm
gone.
