I: Falling
I'm falling hard
I'm falling fast
in too deep
I hope it lasts
these thoughts of you
won't let me be
I wonder if
you think of me?
I'll find a way
to where you are
you know the way
into my heart
only time will tell
I guess
but until then
I'll be a mess
falling for you
slowly
wondering if you and I could ever be
we
thinking of you
before I fall asleep
do you ever think
of me?
How much?
Too much maybe, but less than you deserve.
Not enough, but for me it's overwhelming.
This feeling - it's incredible, warming,
potentially heartbreaking,
but worth it all the same.
How much?
Enough that I can close my eyes and fly
and at the same time, fatally crash.
So intense,
like thunder, wind, the color red,
110 mph and going faster,
adrenaline.
How much?
I wish I could show you.
It's there,
look,
you'll see it.
I won't hide it from you.
{1} “Humpty Dumpty”
Gently, softly, silently.
The rain falls tonight.
Moving, pulling, flowing.
The wind blows it here and there.
Calming, carressing, healing.
The scars on the earth so bare.
Tenderly, soothingly, calming.
The rain falls tonight.
Flashbacks (2)
Bridget stepped up to the scaffold. She couldn’t even think straight. She didn’t know why she was being executed. Her head was down and her hair partly covered her face. Out in the sea of faces before her, she saw Jordan and Kevin. They didn’t even see her. She looked farther. There was her dad. He was looking at her and laughing. Fury surged up in her and she threw her hair back and looked him straight in the eyes. He stopped laughing. She looked back at her friends. They were staring at her now in horror. Then she woke up.
