Falling
Falling swiftly
off a cliff
of my own making
A tower
of lies
deception
stupidity
Love
builds up
higher
and higher
until it all comes
toppling down
you with it
A crumbling world
another color
turned to
gray
I close my eyes
and wait
to hit the ground
Then I’ll be able
to rebuild again
and maybe this time
with a stable foundation
it won’t all
come crashing down.
