Precipice
She gives you candy hearts
you mistake them for your soul
With every kiss you come closer
to falling off the precipice
You tell me there is a building
where there is only air
You’ve sold your heart for a strand of her hair
You play with emotions
and everything’s supposed to be okay
You’re blindness to reality
is fatal
Never mind
You push ahead
The abyss is starring down below
You’ll never know
You’re not listening
Never mind
It’s fun
Who cares that the price is your life?
What will fill the hollowness she’s cut inside
when she leaves and all that’s left is void?
She swallows you whole and makes her incision
You can’t hear the questions I ask
You lean precariously on edge
The rocks crumble under you
‘’Be careful!’’ I shout
You wave at me
‘’Life is fine. All is well. Don’t overreact.’’
I turn away
leaving you here
feels like death
but there is nothing
I can do to keep you
from falling
don’t worry
I’ll leave a rope
maybe you’ll grasp it
at the final chance
