Jasmine Murphy Poet Rhyme

Break the Fall

You want to say "I love you" 
but you've kept it to 
"goodnight". 
You know love involves some 
falling, and I'm afraid of 
heights. 
Time has completely stopped 
before me, I'm frozen I don't 
know what to do. 
Everything I see, hear, say 
reminds me of you.
Even though this won't last 
forever, I still feel a piece of me 
has been severed.
I should have told you while I 
had the chance.
The chance to hold you pull you 
in close...
I've been fighting these 
mocking ghosts. 
For you I'll conquer my fears 
and fight back overflowing 
tears.
I'm willing to take the fall.
The fall for you, into your 
arms, and soon your heart.
The fact we are separated tears 
me apart.
They calming sound of your 
voice, the way you laugh, the 
way you smile, bring it back! 
How long is a little while? It's 
only been a few days and I'm 
going insane, how can I focus 
when unspoken words linger in 
my lungs and brain?
Would it help if I said it now?
Would it make things worse?
Would it break your heart?
Would you believe me if I said, 
would you believe it was true, 
if I looked at you in the eye, 
and said that "I love you"?
