if you look over that cliff a dizzying drop a long way down your heart plummets into your stomach half of you wants to back away the other half wants to jump it’s not what’s down there that you want it’s not what you’ll feel on the way the power of a free fall blasting against you it's the anguish that will erupt from your mistrust it's the havoc you'll construct from your absense everything rushing passed you can’t grab a hold of it you can hardly see the blurry perspective unseen advantage did you jump in between exaggeration and manipulation an escape from your devouring ego you’re a flight risk but you kept that from me a dumpster fire you’re good at playing the part you didn’t believe it yourself you walked close to the edge taunting me with near death all the time they say if you’re wondering who someone is wait patiently, they will show you in time do you believe in happenstance do you believe in coincidence what was it you were trying to show me if not you’re uglier than your appearance what was it you were trying to show me if not your intentions are tainted black what was it you were trying to show me if not your ability to dance around words what was it you were trying to show me if not that you’re a victim. always danger follows you like an obedient dog you take it out when it best suits you but you never admit to keeping it on a leash you’re so close to the edge a wobbly walk straddling what grounds you and what pulls you towards what could only hurt you more you keep looking down you keep looking down
