I have one last request. **** me.
Help me run away. Anything.
I sit here in agonizing pain as
I press my frozen fingertips
Into my burning eyes,
Trying,
Fighting,
Murdering every tear that threatens to escape.
I feel chilled across every expanse of my skin and
I wait for the end that I have wanted for so long.

The unending fall
Without a beginning
Is no fall at all

Nobody falls
Without jumping
Or being pushed

I have lied a lot
But believe me when I say
This is the first time
I ever lie your way

I trust you
I love you
I need you

I have lied a lot
Never one for you
But maybe just this time
Is the start of something new

Impale me with truth

Break me not with false promises.

Leave alone what lies beneath the mountain

The labyrinthined caves and deep burning fire

Take instead the cold stinging creeks

The summer pines and pale blue sky

Take the rocky trails and sharp stone

And all the beauty for your eye

But don't stray below and leave alone

What lies beneath the mountain

Distance looms
In close proximity
A thousand miles away
Close enough to touch
Together alone
Alone Together
No words
Silence is deafening
A smile and a nod
Polite discomfort
Alone together
Together alone
