With my head hung low
And my fingers stretching forward
I was begging the world to take me
Not understanding the sudden change in speed
I gripped onto the closest sleeve
Hoping for comfort
And praying for support
But that bridge, seeping with roses
and layered only with the sweetest aromas
turned out to be a ruse
My knees buckled beneath me
and I cried soundlessly
Lifeless, in my enemy’s embrace.
Fall down? I crashed.
Fall apart? I crumbled.
Regret? With every part of me.
Cry? Until my eyes inflated.
Hope? Never.
Until you.
You rescued me.
Shocking me back into more
than simple existence.
Fall down? I crashed.
Fall apart? I crumbled.
Hope? Never.
Not until you.
You rescued me.
Thank you.
