The urge to disappear
down the rabbit hole
returned with a vengeance,
as the melancholy
song of failure
echoed in her mind

Reaching
for him
was useless,
for
his hands
were too
busy
grasping
at freedom

The higher
the pedestal,
the bloodier
the fall

I count the steps
when you walk out the door
and each breath I take
leaves me missing you more

Every heart is different
when it comes to a love thats true
For some, the key is friendship,
that keeps it feeling new

Others need a fire,
that burns through the morning light
keeping things exciting
a love that has some fight

It took some time to realize
I couldn't settle for one of two
so my heart sat back and waited
until it found its home with you

Pulling away
doesn't always
involve movement.
