You flew so high,

Looking for that one soul

And when you did,

You took a leap,

And started to fall.

​

Falling, falling

Feeling so amazing,

Never thinking there would be an end,

To this moment

Forever falling

​

It came to an end with a crash,

Pieces strewn about,

There was nothing but silence,

As it tore asunder.

​

Where there was once light,

Darkness now consumed.

Bringing forth a swarm of despair,

Eating up what was once good.

​

You fall deeper and deeper into despair,

Never thinking you will see light again.

To hold on to fear and pain.

To grow darker each moment.

​

You wish that all could end,

That the pain and fear will eat you alive.

How could anyone ever understand?

This is pain.

This is hurt.

​

There was no way to prepare.

No way to stop this, to see it coming.

It came like a thief in the night,

Stealing what was most precious.

​

Now unsure if you can find the pieces,

As you stumble in the darkness of your gloom.

Needing to feel whole again,

But even if you recover the shrapnel, who will still want it?

​

Time passes,

It's back together again.

But put in a box not easily opened.

Accessed by a single key

That you have released

​

But in fear of breaking

You're never hoping,

Never thinking,

Never searching

For the one who found it.

​

You climb once again

Hoping to stay put,

Not to fall like so many times past

You come to meet another

Thought to be just like the the ghosts of the past

No different from the rest

​

With deep examination

Through the thick walls of distrust

Shines forth

The key in which you released

The one that unlocks you

​

You see that this one is different

That they have been broken too

A heart bruised and scarred.

With one touch from you,

Their box opens.

​

You feel a faint,

Glow come forth.

Growing in, intensity, as you draw nearer.

A hand reaching out

Asking for you too leap

​

In that moment,

Time stands still.

You take a step forward,

But Hesitation sets in.

Past ghosts appear,

Your caught off guard.

You slip, you fall.

​

For sometimes we have no power,

In who we fall for.

Just hope that,

It will never end.
