“reflection”
completed on 6.2.16
this is the ultimate descent
my tumble downward
skin tear to split open my core
broken bones reveal my soul
and now i know my heart will bleed out
as my questions are a scalpel
slicing the sutures of my doubts
that prevented me from coming unglued
we both tumbled off that cliff
skin abrasions and bruised hearts
grasping for withering rope
a relationship in distress
and now i’m in the fallout
with your hand reaching out to me
but i fear the repetition
maybe i should pull myself out alone?
in the traumatic daze i feel confused
to rewind the film or start brand new
a broken past i know is true
or a future to fight through
in my dreams i see your smile
in my nightmares i see our plight
a guilt for letting go
a need for my optimism and dreams return
transient
