The faithless leap of
faith falls short of the
agony that You feel
When you hit the ground

How you crawl forwards
despite the thorns at your sides
Burns through my eyes
Because what have I done?

Watched forlornly did I
As you crept onward, to find
the meaning of conditions
and unconditional love

Yet many moons have I
wasted trying to don
so many vests and hats
Only to fail at each course

I am happier up here
perched on this ledge
With a view of the world
And not the world can spot me

Give rise to this fantasy
of you and me flying free
The rest of our history
Seared into our skins like
Scar tissue

Yet nothing budges for me
And nothing but the best be
In you and terribly not in me
That is your pedigree

This electric feeling in me
trebled with your smile so lovely
titillates every muscle in my body
and then kills me slowly

Ought i be up on this perch
biding my time that’s on the verge
Of flying off with a surge
of wind in the hair,
as I leave all care.

Its an electric feeling,this
How you make me wretch and
reel with pain and glory
How I long to be your victory

But who knows, I am but a speck in your life’s story.
