Falling in Love
Im on the edge of this cliff.
Either I fall endlessly into the unknown,
Or I run away and never look back.
I’m so utterly terrified.
My fragile heart is the one at jeopardy,
If it were to break again, I think I might die.
I want fall completely in love with you,
But I don’t know if you feel the same…
As much as I tell myself,
The things you say are all to familiar lies,
Lies to make me fall to my knees,
And surrender to your command;
I can’t help myself but to think, to hope,
That there is truth in your words;
And that you are as scared as me,
Holding back the desire to fall in love.
But I can’t bestow upon you that power…
The walls around my heart are thick,
When you say nothing my heart flutters,
And longs for your sweet words.
It’s when you say those words to me,
The chains tighten and the stones thicken
So here I stand at the edge,
I peer down into the endless sea of black,
Is there only cold stone to await my fall?
Or your warm arms to deliver me safe?
The path behind me is dark, and haunting
Above me clouds are grey and heavy,
My skin is met by the icy violent wind,
I am dying slowly, trapped inside my mind
My white dress, ruined and soiled;
An innocence lost to my past.
Even if it is your arms down below,
Waiting patiently for me to fall in love;
My dark world consumes me, and follows
Surely you will leave in a matter of time.
So in my world of black and white,
I’ll toss you a red rose to say goodbye.
And if you were never there to begin with,
The rose will land peacefully upon stone,
Staining it red, as my blood would have.
