(Re)lapse

DontSleepOnTheBoy

I chased the cliff; just to stand on the edge of something that didn’t remind me of someone

I took the plunge; just to feel the cold concrete wings sprout from my tired broken back

I closed my eyes and said they would surely hold me up this time

And for the last time,

I knew I had lied to myself yet again
