falling for your bluff.
my descent arose
in the dive i made falling for you.
the further i fell,
the less of myself i held onto.
ribs strained to make room
for rancour i’d accrue.
naïvely praying someday,
my rest would soon ensue.
but through it all, you threw
all debris on me to bear.
every added ounce
left me further frayed with wear.
rifts and tears flayed the place
my heart used to be.
severed from the sleeve
that anchored me to the belief
that one day, the pain would pay off,
and the games you’d play
would wither away,
and i could finally stay off
the edge of this bluff
i’d hung so high from.
this hill i’d willingly die on.
mounted close to commune
with clouds we’d lain under,
i was now left to wonder
whether they’d extend the grace
of saving me at all.
at last, began to grasp
the cranes in our sky
only heightened my fall.
and you’d have the gall
to just watch me unravel.
i held on for our life, my dear.
yet still wallow in the gravel
of your grave mistakes.
