Cheated

Falling...

 

Feel the air between your fingers.

How it feels solid in your hands.

Feel it around your arms.

Making the skin cold.

The wind envelops your entire body

And stings your eyes.

 

No memory of how this happened...

Falling into thin air.

Maybe the ground you were standing on wasn’t really there...

Maybe gravity betrayed you?

Maybe she betrayed you...

 

It doesn’t matter,

You can’t stop the inevitable.

Gravity is fact

And now it’s going to be the end.

 

Enjoy the fall.

Enough time to see it all flash before your eyes

And remember the good.

 

How often do you get to feel this alive?
