The Fall

I don't really intend on hurting you
with these words I throw.
It's just a pastime you see...

maybe you hurt me
in some unforseen way-
maybe I just want to see
how far I can push you...

Lean out a little.
It's not so far down.
Besides,
you're so brave
and so utterly
resilient.
Could you ever really imagine

for me?
