Frost forms on the window as I fly away from you,
looking through the crystals to clouds,
imagining falling through frigid air outside,
my faith in a folded parachute to end my flight.
You told me once you’d do it, you’d jump into the sky,
but never for the thrill of risk, only to rescue, to save a life.
I wonder if you see me falling into your eyes,
and in your heart, am I worth a dive
for love, or even friendship’s sake?
Maybe that jump's just a risk you won't take.
There is no hollow part of me
That needs to be filled
With ***** and excess

Though I wish that there was
Because maybe then I wouldn't feel
Like a broken kite stuck in a tree

Or a girl who peered over the edge
And slipped and fell
Into the dark depths of the well

Because I slipped and fell
Into the darkest depths of the well

I slipped
And I fell
And I can never escape this hell

what if
     our windows            have been lying
  this whole time?
I find
that your caresses
leave marks
on my soul.
I find that having a love like this a burden that I am more than willing to carry.
I've found
that I've been down
the drainpipe
once or twice before.
Finding yourself in those coincidences can be either humorous or extremely frightening.
Hello there, green tea!
Now tell me,
am I who I ought to be?
This is a little vague and philosophic, but I hope you enjoy the mysterious quality of this poem.
