I fall in love.

My death will be liberating.

 

And I do not say that in the sense

that I am going to find a cliff

and take a good jump off.

 

No.

 

I am just trying to find a

clever way to tell you

 

that I do not know what is going

to happen next.

 

You see,

 

there is a

fine line

between

dreaming and

mortality

 

and

 

I am finding out for myself

that being in love

does not always

involve

 

being awake.

 

And for my sake

I fall in love with daydreams,

nightmares,

hazy realities

and

 

the hung-over idea

 

of not being enough.

 

It is all out of my hands.

                 It is all out of time.

 

And the only thing I have left to do,

now,

 

 

is decide.
