Threw caution to the wind;
****** my breath in;
A leap of faith taken;
A leap into nothing.
Answers awaiting,
tongue 's hesitating,
memories are fading,
a leap of faith taken.
Rare sorts of amazement.
I stand there, gazing,
this fear starts invading
before a leap of faith taken.
Motions to halt;
Emotions at fault.
Face says it all;
A story in making.
Yet I stand tall,
delusion breaking my fall;
"I'm in love with you, doll !"
Says I'm "mistaken".
See folly at play
but who is to say ?
that she might not stay
when I ask with patience.
A life in decay,
mind drifting astray
eyes shifting away,
heart succumbing to decadence.

eyes shifting away,
heart succumbing to decadence.
I fail only to succeed.
