One Last Look

So when I turn my visage 
Give in to ur hearts breakage
Watch u fall
Dance around ur soul’s call
	If I walk down the street
Or fall a thousand feet
Would u cry 
Would u allow urself to die
	Hand over the last wish
Drown myself like a dead fish
Strip u dry of ur virginity
Allow myself to teeter precariously 
	What of the one last look
The closed Chapter of the book
Will u give up so willingly?
Watch so helplessly 
	Does the river of life flood so slowly
Does it not fill ur heart so wholly
Are the cracks of our foundation to deep
Come now my love don’t weep
	Look now towards me
And take nothing…
But one last look
And with that, now close the book
